Debian Sid gets KDE 4.5.1! (External repo)

Debian GNU/Linux now has KDE 4.5.1 available from an unofficial repository. This is meant for Sid- and Experimental-branch users. It is pretty great (in my 30m of testing thus far) and there are instructions available at http://qt-kde.debian.net

I've had two small issues since the upgrade: my [End] and [DwonArrow] keys were being reported as [F13] and [F14] when look at them from xev (run 'xev' from the command line and then do stuff in the box that pops up, and the command line will give feedback about what is pressed/done/typed); this was fixed with 'setxkbmap -keycodes evdev' run from the command line (and added to a script in .kde/Autostart/fixkeybd.sh for now). Also, my dual-monitor setup somehow got swapped, which was an easy fix in System Settings.

Way to rock, KDE and Debian!
