Everything is in the title 
I have uploaded Qt 4.6.0 beta 1 packages to Debian experimental. Amd64 and i386 packages are built (unfortunately, alpha and s390 architectures failed to build).If you wonder if KDE 4.3.2 is working with these packages, the short answer is yes.
Since 2 months (7 weeks exactly), QtCreator is stuck in NEW queue … Until NEW queue is fixed, you can find the packages on Alioth: http://alioth.debian.org/~fabo/ Bonus: kdevplatform is also waiting in NEW since ages, so … on Alioth. Sorry dear users to provides packages this way. Note on architectures : only amd64 and i386.
Ana started to spread the world with current discussions about which KDE in Lenny.
Let’s relay on Debian/KDE universe: you can follow the discussion here and participate if you care about Debian STABLE and KDE.
It is a hard decision and I gave my opinion. I think it is a good compromise between stability and bleeding edge stuff.
I don’t know if Peter tries KDE 4.1 beta1 (4.0.80) but I tend to disagree with some comments.
False. See the plasma icon on panel ? click on it and you’ll have what you want:
Could be nice to be more verbose.
True, but it’s better with each release and not really a showstopper.
Which one do you want ?
Indeed. KDE3 uses .kde as home directory and KDE4 uses .kde4. It is intended to not break your KDE3 until we test upgrade path.
I don’t know 
I continue to use Kontact from KDE3. Modestas and Sune have switched to kde4pim and they found it better than expected.
Hmm It works for me. Konsole saves maximized/normal state.
Make sure you unlock widgets with plasma icon on the top-right corner. Drag and drop from K-Menu to panel.
Sebas made a nice rough guide to plasma. Take a look !!!
KDE4 is more than usable. It contains some glitches but we are far from sucide
So far, if you want to use KDE 4 under Debian, you need to install them from experimental. Under the ground, we prepared up-to-date packages from trunk (soon uploaded) and I took a snapshot of my current desktop:
We didn’t know yet if Lenny will be shipped with KDE 4 but we hope it will be in good shape to have it. Everyday, improvements are done and the desktop is enough stable/solid to be used on a day to day basis.
On other side, I reported a bug on plasma panel alignment isn’t saved and some hours later, Marco Martin (mart) fixed the issue \o/
Tips: if you want to have a transparent panel, you need to enable compositing.
Qt 4.4.0 rc1 was uploaded yesterday to unstable. It was previously available in experimental.
A rework of the packages was done :
Qt4 is built on alpha, amd64, i386, ia64, powerpc, s390 and sparc architectures. On other architectures, the build is in progress. It failed to build on mips/mipsel so far.
And I confirm: Qt4.4.0 is a buildd killer. It needs 4x the time and double space:
| Automatic build of qt4-x11_4.4.0~rc1-2 on debian-31.osdl.marist.edu by sbuild/s390 98
[…]
> Build needed 04:19:38, 4733360k disk space
vs.
| Automatic build of qt4-x11_4.3.4-2 on lxdebian.bfinv.de by sbuild/s390 98
[…]
| Build needed 01:14:03, 2221884k disk space
Enjoy !
Ian, you could have saved time by reading CDBS Documentation.
Another useful variable is DEB_DH_INSTALL_ARGS.
DEB_DH_INSTALL_ARGS := --sourcedir=debian/tmp
While I’m at some CDBS documentation sharing, to pass LDFLAGS using CDBS way:
DEB_CONFIGURE_SCRIPT_ENV += LDFLAGS="-Wl, --no-undefined -Wl,--as-needed"
You can look at the online CDBS gallery website.
Wow, probably the news of the day for me.
It’s done and not a joke:

What’s next now ?
When you know Nokia and their consumer electronic product like the N810 uses maemo and mobile phones use Symbian,
do they want to switch to Qtopia
How KDE will be affected ? Everybody know the relations between Trolltech and KDE.
Enough speculations, This is really exciting !
Trolltech has released Qt4.4.0 technical preview (tp1).
This release introduces new features like phonon (multimedia framework) with the gstreamer plugin, webkit (web browser engine), xmlpatterns (XQuery and XPath engine), help system with QtClucene (Qt wrapper around clucene), etc … and some enhancements to current modules. It comes with new demos (browser using webkit, mediaplayer using phonon and embeddeddialogs) and new examples (help, ipc, phonon, qtconcurrent and xmlpatterns).
It’s worth to take a look closer from a packager point of view:
=> It means different release schedule and sources not always synced. It seems we need to choose which branch we want to package (TT/KDE and TT/WebKit).
=> So far, we build Qt without exceptions support. If you want the xmlpatterns module, you need to enable exceptions support
=> nobody is perfect…
If you want to play with this release, you can find packages for Debian (sources and amd64 build at the moment) on:
http://people.debian.org/~fabo/debian/qt4-x11_4.4.0~tp1-1/
the regular snaphot of the QWebView (done in 3s):
As far as i can see, Qt4.4.0 will rock !
oh, we work too
