But I (a debian user) want to be able to run binairies I got from company XYZ.
is that not impossible since they want to build against <any_distro> and have
links to the wrong libs?

Also I have never been successful in running KDE2 binairies alongside KDE3 
anyway, they always crash; or just look horrible.  So we screwed up the 
kde2 BackwardsCompatability anyway.  I'd say forget about it..

Hmm, that last sentence makes me realise why debian is taking so long :) Hope
they are less pessimistic then me about the outcome!
