- debian-edu-config package
- we add a dir to the KDEDIRS variable (which contains the ordered 
searchpath for multilevel configuration of KDE) 
in /etc/X11/Xsession.d/20debian-edu-kdedirs script
- description of what is set up is available in the debian-edu-config README 
file, which says:

KDE client config
-----------------
  1. share/debian-edu/common
     -> settings common to all debian-edu profiles
       - Disable kpersonalizer startup on initial login.
       - Disable warning dialog box presented when the sound card is 
missing.
       - Configure printsystem to use cups
       - Enable javascript for konqueror
       - Accept cookies by default
       - Add mime-type for ms-word documents (*.doc;*.DOC;*.dot;*.DOT)
  2. share/debian-edu/networked-kd3
     -> settings common to all networked profiles (everything but 
standalone)
       - Configure kmail to use 'postoffice' for IMAPS connections.
         -> fix server adres, port, and such through kiosk
       - Set proxy settings and force them using kiosk (kde 3 > specific)
  3. share/debian-edu/networked-kde2
       - Configure kmail to use 'postoffice' for IMAPS connections.
       - Set proxy settings and force them using kiosk (kde 3 >  specific)

as you can see that's fairly limited
