True, but it has been packaged for Stable and Oldstable based systems which
makes it more likely to eventually appear in Debian than some random piece of
source out there.

Despite its orgins as a continuation of the KDE-3.5 codebase, eh. ;)

Nowhere is a good place for: "KDE is crap, Trinity rulez"!
However, given Trinity's origins (as KDE-3.5) and goals (be installed
alongside and work with KDE-4 and apps), debian-kde is the best place within
Debian for someone looking at introducing it into the archive to bring it up--
this is where the DD/DM expertise wrt KDE-3.5 and 4 resides, and this is the
place with the most potential for finding interested users.
