I believe, that redhat don't ship kde.
I have search on our RedHat-mirror (sunsite.informatik.rwth-aachen.de) and
have found gnome but not one kde-package.
Redhat pay people to make gnome but don't pay for kde.

The number of mails in the news, in the kernel-list and on debian-devel show:
there is a problem.
We should go the save way and remove the kde-binarys from debian.
BTW: for the next release (in 4 months?) we an make a deb-package with the
source and a dpkg-buildpackage; dpkd -i in the postinst.
