Step 1: ignore the "4:" at the beginning of KDE package versions, it's a
Debian thing.
The thing before the colon is an "epoch". It's there so that if someone
messes up with version numbers, or if the numbering scheme changes
completely, they can increase the epoch to make sure the "is version X newer
or older than Y" works properly.
