well, I suppose I'll have to read the Nix source code that generates KDE
stuff then to find out. I won't get around to that in the near future,
though.

If anyone else is familiar with the way KDE package generations works in
Nixpkgs and feels like describing the solution's architecture in plain
English, I'd be grateful if you could share those insights with this
list.

Best regards,
Peter
