I have no strong/religious feelings regarding git vs. svn, whatever
suits you is fine. The only think to take into consideration is that so
far all packages managed by the Debian Qt/KDE team are in svn. Whichever
path you decide to go, could you please incorporate the changes made by
Fathi and myself? Some notable changes:

* a minimal manpage for qtcreator is now provided
* the debian/rules has been moved to CDBS (like the rest of the Qt/KDE
packages), it's a lot simpler now

I absolutely agree, it makes no sense to split the plugins.

Cheers,
