Last time I tried using KDE Debian packages (KDE 2.1.1) I had less than 
perfect results.  Since then I've been using the compiled sources from 
CVS (not head, always the latest tagged branch).

Setting proper values for env var $KDEDIR (among others) will allow you 
to run either the Debian packages or the compiled sources from CVS.  
Relevant environment variables on my system are as follows.

First, the normal user which launches KDE from compiled sources:

KDEDIR=/usr/src/kde
PATH=/usr/src/kde/bin:/usr/src/kde/qt-copy/bin
QTDIR=/usr/src/kde/qt-copy
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/src/kde/qt-copy/lib:/usr/src/kde/lib

Then, the "other" user that launches the  Debian packaged version:

KDEDIR=/usr
PATH=/usr/lib/qt2/bin
QTDIR=/usr/lib/qt2


Hope this helps..
