Very easy. KDE wants to have the whole thing installed in /opt
(or in /usr/local). The Debian Policy tells maintainer to install
packages in /usr/bin, /etc, /usr/lib, /var/lib etc. Either packages
reflects their policy.

That has been done. But people keep looking on ftp.debian.org and
ftp.kde.org. As the incoming isn't world readable anymore only
developers can see the packages. Only few people know aj's ftp address.
