kde status in Etch

["H.S." <hs.samix@gmail.com>]

I apologize if this is a vague query. I have been patiently waiting for
more than a couple of months now (I believe) to update KDE in Etch.
However, apt-get is still wanting to uninstall quite a bit of packages,
almost whole of KDE. Dselect also wants to uninstall quite a few KDE
packages. What is the status of this whole KDE update stuff in Etch? It
appears that kdelibs4 and k3b are some sort of 'culprits'? Can somebody
shed some light on this whole issue?

thanks,
