no, it wasn't :)
the 'metapackage' was taken from my debian squeeze install, where kdegraphics 
is in fact such a thing: a 'package' that is infact  a list of 'real' 
packages (each a single application).
I did not realize the kuickshow source is/was twice in the tde git tree.
Slavek pointed me in the right direction.
