If you review the thread history you'll see I didn't start it or pick the 
subject line; I don't believe the original poster was on Debian.  We have 
wandered onto my problems with KDE and KMail because I mentioned my problems 
with them while questioning some of the original criticisms of KDE.

As for Debian, I'm sure the packagers did the best they could with the choices 
they had.  It's worth reiterating that, given the lag times involved in 
releases, they would have had to settle on things well before the release.  By 
most accounts I've seen the newer kdepim packages had a rocky start.
