Some elaboration, I was a tad short at first: ;)

arts will probably keep its own version scheming, where it might choose to
bump a bit here and there to match KDE's version, but this is not at all
required. Most KDE applications shipped with KDE have their own version
number different from the KDE release number, but you won't noticed as they
are packaged together in a meta package. Arts is its own package, so tat's
why you actually notice here.

The 3.0.6 vc. 3.1a1 issue was discussed earlier, apparently some package
management systems would consider 3.1alpha1 to be more recent than 3.1,
which is of course not true. Therefore the code version (3.0.6) is used for
this, rather than the version of the final release (3.1).
