I find it odd that this package is named the way it is when every(?) other Plasma utility follows the pattern kdeplasma-addons-applets-something. It doesn't seem to be an essential package for the desktop environment and perhaps thus a more conventional name would be in place? "Folder View", "Folder Contents" or something?
This task depends upon

See  FS#26027 .

Maybe kdebase-plasmoids would be a better name as "plasma" is used for the panels etc (basically the "environment" part of DE)?

Well I thought this package (kdebase-plasma) provided the Plasma desktop environment so I found it a bit misleading in that way, yeah. The package only seems to provide the usr/lib/kde4/plasma_applet_folderview.so and usr/share/kde4/services/plasma-applet-folderview.desktop files so "plasmoids" make it sound like there are more of them in it.
