*sigh*
This file was recently moved there from another package (upstream
change) and of course I didn't know it also existed in kcontrol, so I
didn't add any replaces for it. I will fix it now in the packages.
In the meantime, things you can do:
1) Retry. If kcontrol gets removed at some point, this will suddenly succeed.
2) Force install of the kdebase-runtime package:
(as root)
# cd /var/cache/apt/archives
# dpkg -i --force-overwrite "kdebase-runtime_4:4.3.0-1_i386.deb"
If you encounter any more similar issues, please report them to us as well.

PS: Such issues are considered bugs, so you should open bug reports
for these issues in the debian BTS.
PS2: This is the wrong list for user support. The correct one is
debian-kde@lists.debian.org. If you need further support, write there.
