Hi Bradley, I know that for Woody there is a meta package fore kde called "kde" which Description: The K Desktop Environment A metapackage containing dependencies for the core suite of KDE including kdelibs, kdebase, kdeadmin, kdegraphics, kdemultimedia, kdenetwork, kdepim, koffice, and kdeutils. Provides Suggests and Recommends for all other KDE based packages.
Making sure that all of these are installed might be useful. Would it be possible to install "kde" from stable and the updating to unstable?... Just a thought, but please keep me posted, I'm thinking of trying Libranet and the synching to Debian unstable so your experience is of interest to me. Good luck...
