Sorry, my previous message was probably too much emotional given my (lack 
of) knoweldge about CS matters (I am not a programmer by any stretch of 
imagination), but when I see debian/rules which consists mainly from 
DO_NOT_COMPILE variables, two sets of patches (one in debian/patches, 
other in debian/local), lots of commenting out, etc., I do not expect good 
things to come. I understand that it is probably not a fault of 
maintainer, but I still do not have to like it.

After spending a month making minor upgrade (from 3.2.0 to 3.2.2) using 
just semiofficial packages from downloads.kde.org, it will take some time 
before I will be upgrading to sarge.
