We don't have it. The plan is to ship wheezy with KDE 4.8.x where x is the
last in the series (probably 4.8.4).

If I were you I wouldn't expect anything news-worthy to happen on the KDE 4.8
front until KDE 4.7.4 gets to testing (not that it means something will happen
soon after). KDE transitions typically take a month or two to start hence you
will have enough time to prepare.

Thanks for the answer. Not even in experimental?

Is there a way so I can help to at least try to put this info out in a
more timelinesh way?
This way I think people would be so disoriented - as I was - with the
KDE in Debian :-)

Everything is public, so it is possible to write a script listing all
package versions in testing/sid/experimental.
The gnome page you mentioned even provides the generation script for
that site at the bottom, however I already looked at it, and it is
very gnome-specific, so would need a lot of modification to apply to
KDE packaging.

However, such a page would make no sense: This kind of information
might only be interesting for testing anyway, since usually the
complete KDE SC packages are uploaded at once to unstable/experimental,
hence there is no progress that can be followed (Gnome seems to work
differently here). And the testing migration status of each package can
be seen in the PTS.

You can always have a look at /topic in the #debian-kde IRC channel :)

Best regards
