As I 

 a) don't think they're distributing .deb packages that fit our file system
    structure policy and

 b) they don't have a bugtracking system with incremental uploads and

 c) according to my post from before on debian-private we might have a
    new KDE maintainer in the near future.  (Hi Jonathon).  While processing
    new-maintainer I received two wishes to work on KDE (from two guys
    obviously)

I want to distribute the package on our servers, too.

Regards,

	Joey
