What I've already done is to keep gpaint in edubuntu-desktop and put
kolourpaint4 in edubuntu-desktop-kde. One question is how this effects
the app bundles. I think ideally what we should do is put the common,
educational, applications in the app bundles and leave the peripheral,
not-strictly-educational apps for the edubuntu-desktop packages. Any
thoughts on that?

In this case I think we need a good, simple paint program and the app
bundles where we'd put kolourpaint would already have KDE libraries so
we're not adding additional dependencies. While gpaint isn't totally
dead upstream we have a number of serious bugs in Launchpad, whereas
kolourpaint seems largely bugfree in Launchpad and has an active
upstream as far as I know. So, unless there is an objection I'll be
putting kolourpaint4 instead of gpaint in the app bundles.
