Package: kdelibs
Version: 3.5.2-1

the kdelibs packaged in debian unstable is given the wrong version number, . 
This means that you confuse us all when we try to track down bugs in the 
source code so that KDE may make a new release of kdelibs, specifically to 
fix the bug in which konqueror doesn't display pages after following links on 
slashdot (among others sites).

In addition, it besmirches the quality of the KDE releases because you're 
packaging unreleased software prematurely and not informing the users of that 
fact, unless they read the changelogs, which we all know nobody does before 
they submit bug reports to KDE (or potentially just stop using it entirely).

So, in short, you should either package only an actually released copy of KDE, 
or you should change the version number to, for example 3.5.pre2-r52364-1

thanks

  this is not true. kdelibs is based on the upstream's tarball, like
always. Moreover, we do frequent branch pulls that are documented in the
changelog. I don't see any harm here.

  closing the bug. If you have further issue with our dealing of KDE in
debian, please contact us directly so that we can sort the problem out,
but the BTS is not really the best place for it IMHO.

  thanks.
