Andrea: If you don't want to mess up the trunk directory with the kde
unstable stuff, you could at least have the files in the right places.
 Instead of having a kde-unstable directory in${pkgbase}, create a
kde-unstable-i686 directory in the ${pkgbase}/repos/ directory where
you'll do your packaging followed by manual commit and upload  as I
believe you already do for the kde-unstable packages. After that, copy
the PKGBUILD and build files in the
${pkgbase}/repos/kde-unstable-x86_64 directory and commit them.  Of
course, for 'any' arch packages, just use
${pkgbase}/repos/kde-unstable-any.

This way, the files will be in the standard locations were the scripts
and tools expect them.  So the current sourceball script will be
working without any patching.  And as most scripts/tools simply loops
over the repos, it'll be easy to add kde-unstable support to them
without adding exceptions all over the place.
