Three rules to follow: 1. The KDE team releases source tarballs. 2. The KDE team releases source tarballs. 3. The KDE team releases source tarballs. Packagers are given FTP space to upload their packages. As Debian is a volunteer-driven project, and had several troubles (including maintainer changes) for all KDE-related stuff, it took longer than it should have taken. Now that experimental packages are available, testing them is the most important thing to do. See that KDE 3.0.1 debs are done before 3.0.1 is even officially released - it is very likely that in the future, Debian is mentioned among the other distributors for binary convenience packages.
