THe whole KDE stuff is contained in the testing distribtion of the 2.2:
http://packages.debian.org/testing/x11/
you can get it with apt get, if you add it in your apt-source file.
There used to be a kde-debian website, but it's suspended at the moment
If you have a cd writer, probably the easiest thing is to download the
images of the testing distribution. KDE is in the second cd.
ftp://ftp.fsn.hu/pub/CDROM-Images/debian-unofficial/potato/
I've downloaded it, but I haven't installed it yet.
