AFAIK, no one has said that at all.  KDE3 will never be in woody.  It
has just entered sid (aka unstable) though.

No, as it is NOT in Debian Woody.

Yep.  Just be aware that these packages are not from the Debian project
(though I think that they're built by a bunch of DD's) and that you
should *not* report bugs to the BTS.

Yep.  You might also want a non-US source though, since it still
contains some packages.
