The immediate problem is gone... I found the imlib2 deb on another 
machine"s apt archive, and installed it.  Installing KDE from SID then 
proceeded normally.

Warning:  The imlib2 package was still missing from SID as of this 
afternoon.  This will cause NEW installs of KDE 3.1.1 to fail until 
corrected.
