KDE4 and KDE3 separate



Hi,

Now that KDE4 is just about 25 days away from release, I was wondering what
packaging policy is Debian going to make.

Currently, this is what apt says:

rrs@learner:~$ apt-cache policy kdebase
kdebase:
  Installed: 4:3.5.8.dfsg.1-2
  Candidate: 4:3.5.8.dfsg.1-2
  Version table:
     4:3.97.0-1 0
         50 http://ftp.debian.org experimental/main Packages
         50 http://mirrors.kernel.org experimental/main Packages
 *** 4:3.5.8.dfsg.1-2 0
        990 http://ftp.debian.org testing/main Packages
        600 http://ftp.debian.org unstable/main Packages
        990 http://mirrors.kernel.org testing/main Packages
        600 http://mirrors.kernel.org unstable/main Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
     4:3.5.7-3lenny1 0
        990 http://security.debian.org testing/updates/main Packages

So, Is KDE4 going to be an upgrade over KDE3 ?
KDE3 is going to be maintained for some more time. Won't it be better to
separate the packages till KDE3 is announced EOL ?
There might be many users who would like to stick to KDE3.
