No one has answered this yet? So I do even I haven't yet tried install KDE
to Debian. You mentioned dependency problems. Well, what kinds of
dependencies? I just installed Debian 2.1 from distribution CD and I had
to upgrade many libraries, like libstdc+++, ldso, etc. to upgrade some
trivial applications.
If your dependency problems concern only KDE packages, this mail wont't
propably help you at all.

If your packages are not configured correctly, so I don't believe path
will help.
