Sorry, but from my perspective as a user this doesn't seem to be a good
idea.  If I understand correctly, it would complicate and fragment a
coherent and proven KDE-build-sequence and thus make life (even) harder
for users.  I'm not against reducing redundancy, though.

In my view, jhalfs should not be a primary reason for significant
changes of the books.

Just my two cents.
