That is the way testing is supposed to work isn't it? You upload stuff
to unstable and once it and its dependencies are ready it propagates.

kgeo is not part of KDE edutainment in 3.2.2 anymore. KDE 3.2.2
includes kig instead. - But it is different program and not a renamed
project and therefore a provides is not correct. (XEmacs does not
provide emacs, either).
This is now a non-issue anyway, due to
http://lists.debian.org/debian-edu/2004/05/msg00070.html
debian-edu will be removed from testing and the new KDE packages can
go in. - Now debian-edu can fix this in its own timeframe and go into
testing again when it is ready.
