Yeah, packagers don't like bundles libraries at all :) New external libraries are ok but of course additional effort so optional is helpful. What they have no problem with is library that are already packaged, which for Qt Keychains seems to be the case at least here on Debian. > > Hm, maybe it will be better to create separate plugin interface > > for passwords, separate for addressbook, ... so it will be > > possible to mix plugin for Qt Keychain and KDE plugin (for > > addressbook). > > This sounds very reasonable.

Think LDAP and KDE for the address book, etc. While I find this a worthwhile goal as well, I would be cautious as to whether this would go beyond a scope that can be completed within a GSOC timeframe. My recommendation would be to go for single pluigns per category for now, woth the option of extending the host app later on to allow multiple instance to be queried.
