Um, what about
http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2005/08/msg00014.html:

This still applies, I believe.
glibc 2.3.5, X.org, and gnome 2.10 are in, but we still have to finish the gmp
transition -- which more and more things get dependent on every day -- and
the KDE transition, and the rest of the C++ ABI transition.
In particular, this would tie kword to the libgsf transition, making it even
more painful to get KDE into testing. So please don't do this until
C++-transitioned KDE makes it into etch.
