What I did and it is probably the hard way to do it is find all the packages from KDE I had installed and made myself a script that simulated the upgrade then once everything was upgrading to my satisfaction I went to the command line removed the -s in the install line and let it upgrade. I have attached the script you will have to search and replace most of the =4:3.4.0-0pre1 on the end of the package names with =4:3.4.1-1 and of course get your packages installed (COLUMNS=125 dpkg -l | grep 3.3. [1234]) to add into the file. Use apt-cache policy to figure out the version number = that you need to put on the end of the package names you will have to add to the file for your install and eventually you should get it to the point where everything will upgrade with exactly the packages you need to get it done without any of the packages from experimental.
