See my earlier suggestion. KDE version x goes into --> /usr/lib/kdex

To the KDE it looks as if everything is under that tree with aid of symlinks. 
However, we do install files where they belong (ro arch indep files in 
/usr/share/kde3, libraries in /usr/lib .... etc) so that everything is FHS 
compliant and we keep feeling warm and fuzzy.
