I did not dig it out, but I think the first KDE SC 4 version in Ubuntu has
been < 4.2 as well.
Actually the KDE SC 4 transition in Debian has been smoother than I would
have had with KDE SC 4.0.
Heck, and the first KDE SC version for stable users was 4.4 even.
So even due to longer release time between versions, due to sane (!) choices
by some Debian developers updates may (!) be smoother than with the just
package upstream from git daily approach.
For any proof? Feel free to make a study with real users.
