I have done a quick and dirty backport of 3.4.2 from SID to Sarge. Quick and 
dirty means I did not do much more than what is neccessary to integrate with 
Sarge.

The only problem currently is, that the KDE packages require changed dbus 
packages, because the packaging structure of dbus changed in SID. So far I 
have not had any dependency problems due to these new dbus packages, but I 
will have to check that in depth.

I am currently running these packages myself, and so far everything seems to 
work, though I have not compiled everything yet.

I think I will have everything ready on Monday, and could then provide an URL 
for a repository.
