I recommend debian-backports for users of stable who like to cherry-pick
later versions of software without too much hassle. OOo 3.2 is available
in debian-backports, but not KDE4. The debian KDE maintainers used to
offer KDE4 backports for lenny, but they were discontinued early on in
the KDE4 series.
