First, kpat from experimental is unusable if you just pick it in a clean 
unstable or testing (not verified for testing). So I do not understand why 
you close the bug and I will reopen it unless you give me more informations 
and raise the severity because the package is completely unusbale for me and 
I do not see why it could be for others.

Second, I do not see any answer in your mail to debian-devel-announce on why 
it is normal than kpat from experimental should crash when started. Maybe I 
should llok at the source package of kde to see if it is their fault or 
Debian's. But clearly kpat is not coinstallable with kdegames-card-data from 
kde3 (at least on my setup).

So I hope that this is just a problem of understanding and communication 
between us.

Best regards
