The libqt from above has one major difference compared to the sid one. 
It has been build against XFree-4.3 from experimental with Xrandr 
support enabled. Orth started it that way and i just reused his source 
debs. Xrandr support is probably not a major thing for most people. The 
ability to change screen orientation on the fly is only usefull for 
tablet pc's and maybe some very special LCD screens. Changing screen 
size and refresh rate is nice, but not an absolute must-have.
So, i guess functionality would would not be reduce by much if the 
packages where build against official qt debs.
Anyhow, KDE-3.2 should IMHO be build against qt-copy (qt-3.3) from 
kde-cvs, but i haven't seen a debianized version of it yet.
