  Yes, a reason exists, and is a bit sad. On April 24th, I prepared a
  new upload of kdenetwork. Before uploading, I reviewed the list of
  bugs [1], to see if there were any that could be fixed with a small
  patch.

    [1] http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?which=src&data=kdenetwork&archive=no&repeatmerged=no&raw=yes&show_list_header=no&show_list_footer=no&pend-exc=done

  On April 6th, you mailed [2] this list mentioning the problem, but as
  it was a normal mail and not a bug report, it didn't show up in the
  list of bugs I consulted, so it didn't make it. If my memory was
  better, perhaps I would've remembered the mail; but it isn't, and the
  same happens to other developers, so please use the BTS whenever
  possible (unless we ask otherwise, e.g. for experimental packages).

  Probably the next upload will carry a fix for this bug, but we can't
  tell you when such upload will happen.
