As I understand it after a couple of chats with Riddell, we will extend
the build system to any documents which will be present in kubuntu. At
the moment, this has been done for those documents which were actually
ready for breezy: if some work goes on on other documents, we can do it
for them too. There is not much point doing it for unmaintained
documents that are not getting any work. Let's write the docs first!

We were already using the built-in KDE stylesheets from kdelibs-data (I
copied them into our tree to avoid the necessity for users to install
that package).

Don't forget, you don't just need those packages, you need their
dependencies too. If you have kubuntu, you'll have them already, but if
we can rely on non-DE specific things, I think we should. That is why
the -web targets do not use meinproc at the moment.
