no, no t-p-u, just normal unstable -> sid migration.

to make kde just a dependency package, clearly stating that its
version has no relation at all to the real kde version in debian.

'apt-cache show kde' would show version 3.1.2, and some people would
get confused by that.

you may safely upgrade.

next time you could check the archives of the lists you post to, e.g.
<http://lists.debian.org/debian-qt-kde/2004/11/msg00327.html>. and the
relevant changelog entry, of course:
* Disconnect meta-kde version numbers from kde.
