For now you could hold the kde packages and install aptitude which shows you which package depends on another and which package is broken in a nice ncurses gui.

I'm also very interested in it. If a package has broken dependencies and you think this is a bug you should check the Debian Package Tracking System[1] if there's a newer version of the package in unstable which fixes this behaviour (hint: read the Latest News). If you can't find any reference for buggy dependencies you should read the bugreports[2] for the suspected package. If there's no broken dep bugreport filed you can file one with the reportbug util.
