It is just from previous comments I was not sure if KDE is still relying/using virtuoso. But if you state so -- must be so. Do you think it would be feasible to proceed for now with a versioned (e.g. virtuoso-7) source package for virtuoso while excluding all the non-versioned meta- packages, thus providing recent virtuoso for those users who want it, while keeping KDE team and users happy? or do you foresee some obvious showstopper(s)? what components of KDE require virtuoso? (only napomuk?) and which tools/libraries in particular? may be alternative could be for virtuoso-7 to take over providing all the metapackages while corresponding KDE tools to depend on the specific versioned packages still coming from virtuoso source package?
