Well if you ever get problems with kdevelop just do
apt-get remove kdevelop
apt-get -t unstable install kdevelop
Using "-t /version/" instead of "kdevelop/testing" will grab all of
the dependencies from Unstable, along with the actual program itself.
Or, of course, you could just not upgrade kdevelop (Put in your
/etc/apt/preferences that you don't want kdevelop to be upgraded and
you should be fine). Whenever a new feature/bugfix comes out that you
need, uninstall/reinstall.
Beats managing source packages in my opinion.
