Just a quick thought here ... if all the kde2 stuff is marked as BROKEN, would it be permissable for Will to merge his updates into there with a BROKEN message of something like 'needs qt-copy, see http://(?) for instructions'? that way it requires those of us willing/able to help Will out to just remove the BROKEN tag(s) to build?
