kdepim in sid is actually even newer that what is tagged as
KDE_3_2_2_RELEASE. The orig.tar.gz is what was tagged as the release
and the debian dir applies a 60KB patch of what changed since it was
tagged.

The problem appears to be that korganizer doesn't believe in using
the VERSION variable from configure instead it sets its own version
hardcoded into:

korganizer/version.h:static const char korgVersion[] = "3.2.1";

The korganizer maintainer never updated it for KDE 3.2.2 and should be
using the variable instead anyway...
