I suggest you to develop your own applications with your own KDE build,
that's how (almost) all KDE hackers work.
OTOH, you can have a debianized kde base system and be able to compile apps
locally.
You can install your applications to /usr/local rather easily making use of
KDEDIRS environment variable (which must be set prior to starting KDE of
course). I maintain both a /usr/local (for KDE 2 apps) and /usr/local/kde3
for my KDE3 coding.
However, the best is to develop for KDE3, and then write a simple packaging
script for debian so installing it on a debian system is a snap.
Thanks,
