[NBLUG/talk] Upgrading a Debian box to KDE 3.5

[Lincoln Peters]

I can't seem to find packages for KDE 3.5 in any of the official Debian 
branches (stable, testing, unstable), and the only precompiled binaries I can 
find on the KDE website are for Kubuntu, SuSE, and Slackware.

Is there a way to install KDE 3.5 on a Debian box without waiting for it to 
appear in the official Debian repository, and without trying to build it from 
source myself (and thus setting myself up for major headaches the next time I 
try to apt-get any KDE-related packages)?  Perhaps I could get away with 
installing the packages for another Debian-based distro?   (Looking at what 
would happen if I were to add KDE's Kubuntu repository to my sources and 
perform a dist-upgrade is NOT encouraging.)
