Thanks for the hint. Even though the same server, which now hosts my KDE 3.4.2 
backport, is the primary FTP server for ekhis.org (the project formerly known 
as kalyxo), this somehow went past me. %-)

I will contact Tapio... As I need the backports for internal purposes anyways, 
I could very well coordinate my work with ekhis.org to get "clean" backports 
with some support even...

OK, This really seems to be wiser, except, if you really, really wants to 
upgrade now, and don't mind having to sort it all out manually later. I will 
leave the packages up for reference and for those wanting to test them.
