Hi,

I noticed something similar going on with the KDE package groups. Some groups 
are named "kde-*" (e.g. kde-applications), some are named "kde*" (e.g. 
kdeaccessibility) and then there is one group that is simply called "plasma".

Unfortunately I could not find any documentation about the naming scheme of the 
package groups. If I missed something I would be happy about a clarification as 
this seems very inconsistent and confusing to me.

Best regards,
Patrick
