Oh, it's nice to have people backport latest sid KDE to the previous
stable release. :)
In order to avoid duplicating work, I want to point you to the work of
Tapio Kautto (see [1]) as part of the formerly-known-as-kalyxo project.
I recommend that, if you have some time you'd be willing to spend on
working on backports (that'd rock), you contact him and offer your
help.

Well, all of this is handled correctly in Tapio's backports, so
perhaps it's wiser for people to wait that these are officially
announced. YMMV.
Thanks for your initiative,
