why not experimental, or even separate temporary repository with betas of KDE?
it really helps to polish software before release.

if you don't want flood in debian bugs tracker,
mention this in red in the announcement of the temporary repository,
but requiring users co compile on their own stops most people from testing software.
It is not nice in relation to upstream.

Also, it may help to eliminate downstream bugs. For example I'm almost sure that
new Lokalize dependencies won't be set up correctly
and I will have users complaining that the stuff doesn't work.
