It appears (from the KDE mailing lists) that the new QT (2.0) isn't
entirely backwards compatible with 1.42. So, it's possible that this is
a non-issue; it may not be until KDE 1.2 or 2.0 or whatever release is
now after 1.1 that we get a KDE that Debian can redistribute without
worrying about the licenses. (OTOH, they may fix the backward
compatibility between now and when the currently-alpha QT 2.0 ships ...
in which case, yes, Debian will probably be ... two days before a freeze.
