The reason it isn't a Depends is to avoid a dependency loop. We can adjust the symbols file of libkf5emoticons5 so that anything that Depends on it will also Depend on libkf5emoticons-bin to avoid this problem without causing a loop. We recently resolved similar issues in kwallet and kservice using this approach. Scott K
