Not to my understanding. I never built the standalone version of kuickshow and always have built tdegraphics. I don't know that calling tdegrphics a meta package is a good description. Seems to imply "bloat" although that might not have been your intent. :) To me, tdegraphics is an important staple of the whole desktop:

kcoloredit
kcolorchooser
kfax
xf86gammacfg
kghostview
kiconedit
mrmlsearch
kolourpaint
kpdf
kpovmodeler
kruler
ksnapshot
svgdisplay
printnodetest
kuickshow
kview
kviewshell
kfaxview
kdvi
kooka

I use kolourpaint, kpdf, ksnapshot, and kuickshow almost every day.

Of course, this could lead into a discussion about a long-time wish of mine since the KDE3 days: to modularize the whole package system. The KDE4 team finally did this. Yes, that would mean some sweat equity, but possibly that could be a reasonable R15 goal.
