We'll keep thoses packages because they're still useful however we need to 
work on them:
For example we need to define what's a minimal kde4 installation ,what's a « 
full » kde installation, they also should match the task-{xfce|gnome|lxde} 
package too
For example from my point of view task-kde-minimal should really install 
*only* a minimum of kde app like the desktop (with few plasmoids) , a web 
browser, an editor, a terminal...
When the task-kde could provides an irc client, more plasmoid, an agenda 
(korganizer for example) etc etc.

I'm not sure we still have a lot of packages which requires kdegraphics4-devel 
as buildrequires according to http://check.mageia.org/dependencies.html

calligra is the only one package mentionned on this url and i fixed it already 
on svn (i did not push it because it's quite a big package)

Currently kdedindings4 is the missing part of KDE SC, i pushed smokekde 
(without kdepimlibs support as suggested by fwang since smokegen seems to 
crash with akonadi) and i guess fwang is going to finish others subpackage 
soon.

Regarding digikam2 Ze is working on it & i guess it's probably appears soon.

For which package ?

Well MacOS X Lion is probably the way to go :)
