Comment 7 for bug 355781

Okular is not ready for everyday usage. It may be a good pdf viewer, but it is very slow in loading dvi files. Not having kdvi in ubuntu breaks the workflow of latex users. I don't expect okular to have enough manpower to get close to kdvi in the near future, therefore kdvi should be put back.

If you are a developer, reading this, and are considering ignoring this comment, please be honest first: do you work in latex every day? If not, please ask for the opinion of some latex users if you know them, then decide if this issue should be ignored or not. Really, working with kile+okular using dvi is not possible for me; using pdf makes okular faster. But then I loose forward and backward search (w.r.t. kdvi). In that case, I would prefer using evince. Of course installing kile from intrepid is an option but I distaste having to teach users who ask my advice how to do this procedure.
