Yes. KDE 4 is hitting unstable soon though.

This breakage was by no means intentional. However, it happended and it is a 
bug. Under normal circumstances we would consider fixing it in KDE 3 but 
since:

1) it is in the package nobody (us and upstream) cares about anymore (KDE 3 
desktop)
2) KDE 4 will replace KDE 3 soon 

it would be counter productive to spend time fixing it. Unstable is called 
unstable for a reason, don't expect it to be release quality all the time.
