Almost certainly this happened when you last did an upgrade, and
you upgraded to KDE 3.4.2.  Not quite all KDE packages have made the
transition even in unstable and so I am not quite sure why they have
released it into testing yet (koffice for instance).  The good news is
that Quanta has made the transition, it probably on its way into 
testing over the next few days.  

In future when you do an upgrade watch very carefully for packages
that it is going to remove.  I always use the -u option on apt-get and
if there is something I need being removed I simply abort the upgrade.

You might be able to download the unstable version of Quanta and
install that, but if you can wait a few days I would suggest that is the
better route.
