You need to read http://www.debian.org/News/1998/19981008

It basically says that Debian developers have decided not to
distribute any KDE binaries due to Qt licensing issues. While Qt has
recently decided to change their licensing, the Debian policy won't
change until Qt has finalized their new license and it solves the
problems mentioned in the article URL I gave you above.
