Dependency is not really needed, having the script would be more than enough. Maybe a "Recomments" in the package that contains kinit, or bundle it there. Well, adding a Recommends to kinit (or bundling it there) would not really help at the moment, as kinit doesn't seem to be installed automatically anyway. See also my previous mail.

Also, I would have to branch kinit for only that change. This is something I'd rather like to avoid really, in particular because installing to /opt/kf5 can lead to additional other problems I have to solve then. (FYI, I changed the rpm macros used to build KF5 stuff to use /opt/kf5 as prefix in my repo so that whenever I add a new package it gets installed to /opt/kf5 automatically without me having to change anything in that package...) And you would still have to run that script manually. I'd rather go the way that that script is not really needed at all for running the applications. As I wrote already, I'm nearly there. I'd just have to additionally install libraries to /usr/lib(64) instead of /opt/kf5/lib(64). I maybe could also add certain directories to the system's paths as it is done for KDE3 e.g. (but then again the question would be in what package should those files that do that be?) In general there should be no problem as the libs are versioned, only the - devel packages would conflict with KDE4. But there are some overlaps I think, so I haven't done it yet in general (I need time to investigate...), just in a few selected packages like plasma5-workspace-libs (to make the sddm breeze theme work). Not sure yet if I will succeed there though, or if/when I'll be trying it. I'm a bit hesitant to doing such changes, as it might break everything...

IMHO, a few KCMs should be bundled with systemsettings5, and usable without other plasma5(-desktop) stuff, esp keyboard, mouse, fonts, colors and style should be configurable without needing plasma5 at all. That's not possible, at least not at the packaging level.

As mentioned, the KCMs are part of the plasma5-desktop source tarball, and systemsettings5 is a separate one completely independent of plasma5-desktop. You would have to completely reshuffle the sources. So if at all, this would have to be done upstream. One could split out the KCMs to a separate subpackage though, and maybe recommend this by systemsettings5 or similar, as mentioned.
