"They exist, they are here, they are semi-official and apparently they now
have KDE 3.0.2. And no, they won't be included in woody, they will be
going into sid when the bugs are squashed."
so the answer is no.
but, its very very very easy to compile kde from scratch, as it has a very
low number of dependancies outside QT. apparently with the new gcc 3.1.1
the C++ performance hit is very much reduced, too. in contrast gnome 2.0
is virtually impossible to compile from scratch and the dependancy hell
requires a set of scripts to do the build for you!
cya,
