I finally got a large chunk of free time with which to fix bugs.
Therefore:
* Bugzilla (
http://bugs.pearsoncomputing.net ) is now back online, so
bugs can be reported there instead of to this list
* All of the below should be fixed
* kvirc-kde3 is now in the repository
Please let me know if there are other issues/requests for Karmic! (I
might even consider KDE feature requests...send those to this list).

Yes, they are indeed fixed! Thanks a lot! I came
across a few more
issues though. When I install kubuntu-desktop-kde3 it also brings in
some KDE4 packages. I was able to figure out some causes and a few other
things:
The control file of kde-style-qtcurve-kde3 I think should have a line:
Provides: kde-style-qtcurve
Right now it will trigger the install of gtk2-engines-qtcurve which
depends on kde-style-qtcurve which is the KDE4 package.
I think that many things may work better if such lines (provides with
the package name without -kde3 appended) would be added to all packages.
I also had a problem before where AcetoneISO was looking for konqueror
and did not like my konqueror-kde3 although it works fine with it. When
packages would need the KDE4 versions, they'll specify a specific
minimum version anyhow, so I think adding such a line would not break
anything.
Another small issue is kdebase-kde3 recommending kdm instead of
kdm-kde3. Changing this seems to prevent kdm from getting installed.
foomatic-db-hpijs is recommended by kubuntu-desktop-kde3 but has been
replaced by foomatic-db.
apport-qt and openoffice.org-kde are recommended by kubuntu-desktop-kde3
but they both depend on KDE4 libraries. Similarly hplip-gui is
recommended by kubuntu-desktop-kde3 but is uses libqt4.
Some of the recommended packages aren't available for me:
kdebluetooth-kde3, kubuntu-docs-kde3, strigi-applet,
system-config-printer-kde-kde3
I hope this helps. Let me know if you need more information. I can try
to dig some more then :)

This bug, and the kdm PAM file bug, should now be
fixed. Let me know if
they truly are or not!

I don't know whether this is known bug. It is
the first thing I come
across when installing KDE3, so I can imagine it is.
kubuntu-desktop-kde3 depends on ttf-bitstream-vera but it's not
available anymore in karmic as you can see here:
http://packages.ubuntu.com/nl/jaunty/ttf-bitstream-vera
Here is a patch:
http://haar.student.utwente.nl/~julius/patches/no_ttf-bitstream-vera.patch
I just removed the package from the dependencies. This allows me to
install everything, but somehow also brings in some KDE4 packages on my
system. Another option would be to add this package to the KDE3
repository.
