No that doesn't sound like a good idea to me.
It would break at least 2 important features we currently have :
- the ability to not install Recommends
- the ability to mix 6.5.0 with 6
5.n
Also it would duplicate the real package-to-package dependency tree with
depending everything from kde-standard which I really don't like.
Happy hacking,
