It's an indication that KDE 3.x is not part of Woody :-) If you were
running only packages from woody you wouldn't have to use dist-upgrade
and you wouldn't be running KDE 3; since you're using back-ported
packages which don't follow Debian's policy for changes to the stable
distribution (which is essentially "security fixes only") the above
doesn't apply.
FWIW I run unstable and generally use dist-upgrade rather than upgrade;
but it's always a good idea to peruse the list of packages it wants to
get rid of before allowing it to go ahead, though!
