I know that is what is happening - what nobody has answered completely yet is
WHY you can't put 2.95 compiled packages in to unstable at first and then
follow up later with 3.2 compiled versions (with the different names if that
is what the plan entails - or just later versions if not).
With all this delay - and given debian's speed gcc 3.2 becoming default could
still be months away - not only does kde 3 itself not get into the
distribution, but all the packages that depend on it don't either.
I am very pleased that kde.org is hosting the packages - and as I said in a
mail about a week ago - from a kde perspective, thats a good way of promoting
the kde packages to the debian community. But, from a debian perspective it
seems strange that a set of packages as important as kde can't even make it
into unstable, and that without doing so the packaging (and even kde itself?)
doesn't get as much shaking down as it otherwise would.
