Well these two weeks are almost over now, so I suppose we might have hope of
seeing the KDE debs soon. The need for a more effective way of getting the
debs out hasn't gone away though, and people continue to ask how/when/where
they can get them. There are no problems compiling KDE 3.0. Many KDE
developers using debian are doing it regularly, myself included. The process
of creating debs is more involved than just compiling, but given the number
of us who are willing to help maintain the necessary scripts and data, the
packaging process can probably be made nearly effortless for the maintainer.
So again my original question: what can we do to improve the KDE packaging
process?
The answer "make the debs yourself" doesn't address the issue; it just shifts
it to another individual.
