Should dependencies on kde-baseapps-bin for kdialog also be updated to
point to the new kdialog package?

Affected game packages, which I'm happy to deal with myself (no need for bugs or
patches for these):

- quake3 (src:game-data-packager)
- opentyrian
- rott
- rtcw (src:iortcw)

I'm reasonably sure all of those are only using kdialog and not other
KDE binaries. At some point I might patch ioquake3 and iortcw to use
SDL_ShowMessageBox() so that they never need xmessage/zenity/kdialog,
but until then, shrinking the dependency seems good.

Thanks,
