wicd-kde is fine then.

The wicd-client binary is just a wrapper, that runs wicd-curses or wicd-gtk,
depending on whether X is available or not.

wicd-gtk is really a separate client, /usr/bin/wicd-gtk .
Also /usr/bin/wicd-curses is a client, and /usr/bin/wicd-cli is another.
I see /usr/bin/wicd-client-kde failing being consistent here :-)

Anthony, would it be possible for you to reconsider this decision, and call
it /usr/bin/wicd-kde?

Yes, please, correct the package description.

Other than this, the package seemed fine to me earlier today. I'll have a more
careful check as soon as the binary name issue is solved.

Kindly,
David
