Rule1: Always check what an update *would* do, before commencing... ;-)

The problem seems to be that a new libqt was uploaded to SID, which has a 
bigger version number than the one in orth's packages (3.2.1-5 > 3.2.1-4
+orth...), so libqt gets replaced by the version from SID. Unfortunately the 
package kde-snapshot depends on the exact libqt version (= instead of >=) 
from orth's collection, so kde-snapshot is marked for removal, which in turn 
removes all KDE-HEAD packages, as they depend on kde-snapshot.

Workaround: put all libqt related packages on hold
The following lines causes a dist-upgfrade to succeed, withpout removing 
KDE-HEAD (WARNING: all on one line! No Warranties, works for me... yada 
yada):

for P in `COLUMNS=200 dpkg -l libqt*|grep ii|awk '{print $2}'`; do echo $P 
hold|dpkg --set-selections ; done
