This is one of the above-mentioned blogs linking to http://kdebian.org/. I'm still somewhat reluctant to use this repo, for no other reason than the creator of the PPA hiding. Undoubtedly, there may be good reasons to do so. But it gives me a hard time trusting in it. Sure, I can always read the sources, as has been suggested in another reply. :-) I did not do that for the packages I've got from Debian, because the fact that they do not even try to hide who they are makes me feel I can trust them. This is not the case for http://kdebian.org/. However, thanks dear Debian folks, thanks dear Debian community. You're great.
