Sid has a number packages labeled -RC. Some do not work so well, either. I had 
to downgrade the package with hwclock, for example.

Experimental has loads of -RC packages including OpenOffice rcs.

I have the feeling that the suffix dsfg is a euphomism.

One can compile it with some time and effor. I am using a locally compiled 
kde3.5.6 (konstruct, remember that?). I went to local compile at a time when 
it was impossible to install kde from Sid due to all kinds a renaming issues. 
Each upgrade took days to compile but in the end it worked. Works fine 
alongside kde4 with a little effort.
