Yes, looks like.

No. download.kde.org is kde-version based. From the view of KDE, first there
are the different versions then there are precompiled packages for different
systems. The view might differ on a debian server but it is completely right
for the project server.

Something is wrong with your setup. Just today, I upgraded KDE2.2.2->KDE3.0.4
by using the source above. The right libqt3(-mt) was installed and it ran
just fine (even _without_ removing KDE2.2.2 first). And else it is a pure
woody system...
