This fix can however not be deployed to 9.04 via an update. The usual update process does not install, nor remove packages as part of an update. Thus such an update-notifier-kde update would be on hold until the user actually does a dist-upgrade. Therefore this change does not qualify for a stable release update I am afraid.
Fixed in Kubuntu 9.10 it seems :)
