I did it, in the subject of the original post - it's squeeze.

Did that (great tip, I was missing it), and double checked the options
both in "System>Login Manager" *and* in "Look & Feel>Appearance>Splash
Screen". There's no mention to "Space fun" left there. However, space
fun is being really stubborn, and it is still there (only for about
two seconds, right after hitting <ENTER> in the login greeter - after
that, it is substituted by user's choice of desktop background).

Yes, I did it by replacing it with "moreblue-orbit", via update
alternatives - no ugly hack here, I don't like doing stuff that way,
either :-)
But, I *did* disabled the themed greeter, via /etc/default/kdm.d/

Yes, It took me some research, but I eventually discovered that
update-alternatives cover that.

Ok, I'll ask at debian-kde.
