deb http://ma2geo.mathematik.uni-karlsruhe.de/public-debian sarge/

You then need to install the packages there and add the line
use-gpg-agent
to your /etc/X11/Xsession.options file. This could probably be done in the 
post-inst script but I didn't.

For personal setup, you need one step from the kmail site:
-----------------------------snip------------------------------------
If you updated gpg from 1.0.6 or earlier, please make sure to set your own key 
to ultimate trust yourself, to move the old options file ~/.gnupg/options to 
the new location ~/.gnupg/gpg.conf and to run
gpg --rebuild-keydb-caches
once. Add this to your ~/.gnupg/gpg.conf:
use-agent
-----------------------------snip------------------------------------
The rest is done by the package (creation of ~/.gnupg/gpg-agent.conf and 
starting gpg-agent). It could probably do the above, too, so if someone wants 
to do it... :)

When the OpenPGP plugin is registered in kmail, it should "just work" :)
