For what outcome?
Well, that is why I am not so conviced we need yet another additional entity 
here. Is it realy a separate project? Is it not more like a forum for non 
commercial Free Software System Integrators collaborating on various KDE and 
Debian system things. Suppose a new name is created, the success still 
depends on Debian and KDE and can only become mainstream if things get into 
upstream Debian beeing the largest Free GNU/Linux distribution.

Main Goal: Coordination of Integration and Usability enhancements with more 
general benefits than those that have been done by several commercial 
distributions in the past.

That is why I think it is preferable not to "incorporate" a separate name and 
just stick to be the "kde-debian group" with significant contributions to 
Debian (-Desktop),  KDE and the GPL software world in general.

All the best,
Christian
