Very cool. So, essentially all the work has been done to allow for uploading gcc-3.2-compiled KDE to Debian. So what's holding it back? Possible breakage on non-i386 arches? Wouldn't it be better to have a KDE 3 that was broken on certain arches than no KDE 3 at all? Wouldn't it make it easier to fix those broken arches? -- People said I was dumb, but I proved them!
