This is because kdewebdev, is plattform independent, but the packages it 
depends on are not. If kdewebdev was uploaded by a developer with a different 
architecture than yours (say, the devel had amd64, and you have i386), you 
have to wait until the build-daemons compile the package.

This was not very common when 95% (or more) of the developers/users where 
running the same architecture, but this is not longer the case with the 32/64 
bits desktop computers.
