That is a good start, now, is there a way to use one of these tools too allow 
a semi-automated upgrade of KDE? 

I.E. get a list of packages that depend on kdelibs3 and pass that to apt-get 
or dpkg in some way?

The dpkg-awk gives me a great list of  packages, many of which are sadly out 
of date now. Unfortunately, the kde meta-package can not be used for 
updating, because this would require updating the meta-package every time 
anything changed in kde.

Thanks, until then, I guess I'll just try upgrading bit by bit until I get it 
right.

Cheers,
