Wrong. It was built from source package gtk-qt-engine indeed. kcm-gtk was
introduced in unstable later as the result of the split of gtk-qt-engine by
Ubuntu and didn't introduce code changes.
This new kde-gtk-config is a rewrite of kcm-gtk for GTK3 and takes over where
kcm-gtk was left (no updates, no plan to support GTK3).

Yes.
This created a new problem though: as kde-gtk-config replaced kcm-gtk's
binaries (on purpose), kcm-gtk also got removed from Wheezy, breaking the
upgrade path of gtk-qt-engine from Squeeze. IMHO, one of kcm-gtk or kde-gtk-
config has to enter Wheezy to permit an upgrade path for this tool.

Given the current situation (and sorry for the time it took), I will review
and upload 2.1-1 to fix the remaining RC bug really soon now.
