Looking for help with a recently removed package, kcollectd

[Sandro Knauß]

Hey,

I can sponser you. But I can't build kcollectd pacakge from salsa[0]. It looks 
like you missing some dependencies from building.

Feel free to ping me, if you have any questions and, when the package is ready 
to review.

* you can remove the debian/patches directory completly, when there are no 
patches to apply.

Additionally you list yourself as Maintainer, that is fine. Do you want to be 
part of Qt/KDE team and shift the maintainership to Qt/KDE team? This gives 
other members of the team the possibility to touch the package and maybe to a 
release, if needed...
