I also agree.

Using OpenPKG is certainly easier for the end user *now*, as no distro 
(besides Mandriva? correct me if I'M wrong) offers Kolab2 as 
distro-specific, separate packages.

If it was possible to install Kolab separately, without OpenPKG, it 
would get into distros, and thus start getting serious attention.
