Yes.

Modifying kpackagekit at this point to add in 'all' the missing functionality of software-properties-kde was too much to take on. It was definitely more prudent at this point to provide a way for users to launch the existing sources editor, and leave package add/remove to kpackagekit.

The kdesu could be avoided, but would need to use policykit and if someone would like to take a stab at that, it would greatly be appreciated (I am not that familiar with policykit or what would need to happen here to make that work).
