well written, Darrell :)
my own migration, however, went with less effort (but some hand-editing, though): I just copied my old $HOME from debian lenny (kde 3.5.10) over to my fresh squeeze install with trinity 3.5.13, then made a symlink: ln -s $HOME/.kde $HOME/.trinity before logging into trinity. had to change some occurrences of /usr/lib to /opt/trinity/lib in 1 config file afterwards and all was ok.... (kmail worked 'out of the box' with this approach, most likely due to the fact that I have no local mail storage, but IMAP).
maybe it is a good idea to provide a migration script for kde3 users in the FAQ.
