Thanks for the update!

As far as now installing kde for i386 is concerned:

You mention that kdegraphics and kdeutils need new uploads.  Are there
currently older versions of these packages that exist in the debian apt package
servers that it is ok to install (they will be merely missing the packages
kamera & arc)?

What is the best procedure to install kde on a base i386 compatible Sid system
as of now?  

Should one just do "apt-get install kde" (which would make use of an old
kde-meta)?  

Or, should one do an "apt-get install ..." with a string of the available kde
packages?

Is there any order that must be followed in installing these packages?

If installing a string of packages is the best procedure, what specifically is
the suggested string of packages?

TIA.
