I agree. I have two (count 'em) experimental snapshot sets of KDE, the KDE4.9
on qt-kde.debian.net/debian and now the 4.10 on
packages.siduction.org/kdenext. This is certainly not desirable and
probably, the 4.10 shouild be copied or moved to the debian snapshots. Once
4.10 is installed, it is not possible to go back so no need for both.
