Personally, I recommend that you don't use the .debs because you won't
find debs for any of the many other KDE applications available. I
think it is better that you keep KDE separate in /opt/kde or
/usr/local/kde and use a program such as Smart Install to keep track
of KDE packages.
You might also steal /etc/menu-methods/kde from the .debs before you
get rid of them (and edit it to use a proper directory).
