I'd be concerned about the complexity of that though. It needs to be communicable to the outside. Now perhaps it's a question of "what's needed to get it to build and be usable on all platforms". I'm not sure that kdoctools is part of those requirements. It's "just" to get manpages generated. IOW, not having kdoctools doesn't prevent you to build something on top of kpackage and run it while not having KWindowsSystem breaks kglobalaccel on some platforms.
