I'll bet the problem is libaspell15 being replaced with libaspell15c2 in
unstable right now, and the alioth packages haven't been built against it
yet. Try going to packages.debian.org, finding libaspell15 from Sarge, and
'dpkg -i' it, then try installing KDE again.
Unstable is much more fun now that's finally unstable again :- D
