It's not fair to blame the metapackage maintainer, at least not the
current one; he's been in fairly regular touch with -release and/or
#debian-release over the last month or two about how to fix it, and
forward progress is being made. It just seems to be running into some of
the nastier bits of testing migration, partly due to high upload rate
and lack of buildds. (There's talk of a t-p-u upload if we can get
another couple of essential bits in.)
I note that the meta-kde package in testing is still at KDE 2, so it's
morally in about the same position even if it happens to be luckier. A
new kdebase is the biggest problem here, but it's stuck behind
lm-sensors.
