KDE3 in unstable is gone and now there will be only KDE4. Read here: http://pkg-kde.alioth.debian.org/kde4.html; if you want to move to KDE4 otherwise you must pin KDE3 packages in apt preference (or use another method for synaptic) in order to keep it.
KDE4 is still developing and it's missing some feature you may need: Bluetooth it's completely missing, NetworkManager and K3b are missing too, but you can use the KDE3 version without problems, Printer manager is present but it has less features than before. Said that, KDE4 is faster is prettier and is going to have a lot of more features than KDE3. Bye Valerio
