OK, but my question is which package to file the bug and the patch 
against.  To fix the Konqueror issue I could file it against Konqueror, 
but there are other services (KHelpCenter for one, and I don't know what 
others there might be) that need the same treatment.  Is the appropriate 
thing to do to piecemeal file bugs against everything I discover?

I am surprised by this.  I always like to get the full compliment of KDE 
packages when I build a box - I always apply kdegames kdeutils kde-extras 
kde-devel kde-devel-extras.  Is the idea that all of these are going to be 
rebuilt for KDE4?  Or are they going to be removed from Jaunty?  If not, 
then it will be necessary for quite some time to make sure these apps have 
access to the appropriate KDE4 services.
