KDE2.1 in three steps
1) Add this line to your /etc/apt/sources.list file..
deb
http://kde.rap.ucar.edu potato main crypto optional
2) apt-get update
3) apt-get install task-kde
There is no inclusive KDE package, for a list of file that you need, look
at the Depends line for task-kde.
so you'd have to do something like:
some-prompt$ apt-get install kde-base kde-multimedia konq .. etc.
Or use dselect to pick it up for you.

KDE 2.2 in a whole LOT more steps..
If you want 2.2some-alpha release, then:
1) Add these lines to your /etc/apt/sources.list file..
# 2.2alpha-1 release
deb
http://people.debian.org/%7Erkrusty/ kde2.2/i386/
#crypto pkgs
deb
http://pandora.debian.org/%7Erkrusty/ kde2.2/i386/
#req'd X4.0.3 packages
deb
http://people.debian.org/%7Ebranden/ woody/i386/
There's also a 2.1 ISO, roam around
ftp://kde.debian.net/ to find it...

There exists a mailing list, which until recently I
unsubscribed from..
http://lists.debian.org
Hope that helps.. KDE 2.1 is quite the eye candy experience..
