  There is a --print <file> command line option, but also brings a
dialog up. Maybe can be tweaked for using the pdf/ps output as default
without showing the dialog, but that's beyond my KDE knowledge.

  Anyway your case is clearly different, your source is a kpr file not
a pdf one.

  It sounds pretty reasonable to me, maybe adding a note to the
README.Debian saying the kpr is the original source and kpresenter
package is required to modify it, for example.
