Hi, FYI, while communicating with Matt Zimmerman a couple of weeks back on security issues for KDE (that the woody debs on kde.org have those fixed as well - Martin Schulze included that info while he was doing that) we were discussing things like that the KDE packages in sid are made from CVS checkouts rather than from the original release tarballs. Matt would prefer to get them build from the release tarballs with patchsets against CVS if you need them - however, this is none of my business so you might want to check with Matt how to proceed with your next upload as that's probably the last chance to do it the way the security team would like to have things done for sarge. I know making patchsets for every change requires a lot of time and effort but you should seriously think about doing it; it will ensure more quality control and give the security team a better base in case they will receive security patches from KDE - again this is my personal opinion, I'm not a debian developer yet that I could do this on my own but I would be willing to help there.
