She had a crippled /etc/apt/preferences. This is the file, where you set
the priority for packages/repositories/distributions.
Normaly, you don't want to install all backports, so you pin them under
the default value 500.
Instead of pinning all KDE packages up, Kate did remove the preferences
file. This results in a priority of 500 for all packages, whereas the
KDE packages from backports.org will be installed rather than the
packages from sarge due to their higher version number. That's all.
