it's not easy to collaborate with the debian-kde maintainers, probably
because, as you have said below (...we have in the past been burned a bit..)
and in MHO not _only_ for the 3rd party repositories. Probably you received a
lot of attacks. The transition from kde3 to kde4 was a pain.
Otherwise there are a lot of people that would like to help, but I think that
it's reasonable that the "community" of kde users in debian sometimes are a
bit frustrating with the version of the packages in stable, for example.
This could be solved with backports, but neither squeeze of lenny had, afaik.

ok, but I'm a bit loss. Looking on [1] only a few rc bugs and almost solved
affect releasing wheezy, and no one of the qt-kde packagers. Do you know what
happens? Are the release team waiting to the fosdem? ;-)
