There would be still times when meta-kde version could be out of sync with kde in sarge (since they can migrate independently). Since meta-kde doesn't come from kde sources, and looking at how meta-gnome2 is done, I chose to sheepishly follow. Chris also agreed with changes, so I went forward. As an afterthought, I could have remembered, that not everone is on the #debian-kde channel these days, and Josh is right that the epoch increase is uneccessary.
