With the upload of KDE 4.3, this has become a lot harder. Old kdebase-data and kdebase-runtime are no longer co-installable (intentionally). We have stated many times that we are NOT willing to support KDE 3.5 desktop in sid. We have also stated that we are willing to help other people to get some KDE3 apps like Quanta working with KDE 4 desktop (with proper (re)packaging of it). Therefore, you are very welcome to start (re)packaging Quanta. Alternatively, you can hack binary package Depends: field and see it if the end result works without some dependencies. -- Modestas Vainius <modestas@vainius.eu>
