It should be noted that this configuration will upgrade your machine to 
testing and then try and install kde3.0.3 from kde.org, installing any 
packages from unstable as required (there shouldn't be any, but...)

I might also suggest adding the followinfg stanza to /etc/apt/preferences to 
give kde3 on kde.org a higher priority than kde2 on debian.org:

Package: *
Pin: origin <your-kde.org-mirror-here>
Pin-Priority: 925

(for example, my Pin is origin download.uk.kde.org)
