Hi Patrick,

Not sure how to do it personally, but at the moment, there are fairly
up-to-date KDE packages for Debian in testing, unstable and experimental.
You could check out how they did it there. There is also a mailinglist [1]
for KDE on Debian that you could ask your question on. The maintainers are
very friendly and helpful!

Hope that helps,
Thom
