I agree with this fully. 

I real life, this should outcome two things:

Mainly some KDE-software, which is well integrated with Debian, packaged and 
pushed into Debian stable/testing as fast as possible (for the benefit of 
everybody).

Secondly, a Debian-KDE-live-CD (ala Morphix = desktop oriented, install 100% 
Debian repository compatible) to promote our work.


If you work towards this, I'll give my efforts and money to you..
