Erm .. Ville doesn't specify which Debian release he's using, but if
he's using Woody, then AFAIK there is no Plastik package available,
and the only way to get this style is to download the source tarball
from http://www.kde-look.org and compile it yourself.
I did this successfully in January.

I checked there, but there was no Woody Plastik package at that time

Yep - all good advice.
I have the following development packages installed, which seem
relevant :
ii kdebase-dev 3.1.4-0woody1 KDE Base (development files)
ii kdelibs4-dev 3.1.4-0woody1 KDE core libraries (development
files)
ii libjpeg62-dev 6b-5 Development files for the IJG JPEG
library
ii libmng-dev 1.0.3-3 M-N-G library (Development headers)
ii libpng-dev 1.2.1-1.1.wood PNG library - development
ii libqt3-mt-dev 3.1.2-0woody1 Qt development files (Threaded)
ii libstdc++2.10- 2.95.4-11woody The GNU stdc++ library (development
files)
ii qt3-dev-tools 3.1.2-0woody1 Qt3 development tools
ii xlibs-dev 4.2.1-15.backp X Window System client library
development files
(I have a backport of Xfree86 4.2.1 from backports.org installed)
Good luck.
