Out of curiosity, I installed koffice on a spare Virtualbox VM (Debian/sid - sidux). The VM itself is kept updated. Both kword and kspread crashed (repeatedly & deterministically) when trying to open new blank document!

So, apologies! I do not use koffice and I don't see myself using it in foreseeable future. In fact, I don't see myself running squeeze either! So, I'll refrain from this :( Even if it gets included, I just hope there is a disclaimer, very easily visible to the end user [*,**], that kword, kspread (and may be kpresenter) are at best pre-alpha quality softwares! I understand that a lot of work has gone into krita (and karbon) so it is worth including koffice just for these. -- Regards Kap4Lin -- http://counter.li.org #402424 [*] not the README in deb!

Also, you are using sidux, AFAIK it should not be very far from Debian unstable but that packages are for a pure Debian unstable instalation (FWIW, they also fine in my netbook with testing).

Is there an up-to-date KDE FAQ? The one that comes packaged and shown in KInfoCenter is ancient. It doesn't mention Plasma anywhere, explains how to configure aRTs, says Qt doesn't support GIF for patent reasons... Strangely, the introduction says the latest stable version is 4.2.1, which shows it did get updated some time in the past five years. Of course that's still out of date (I have KDE 4.4), but I thought it'd mention 3.5... -- Nicolas (I read mailing lists through Gmane.
