I am not seeing the packages for the KDE herd - are you accounting for >=? KDE 
3.5 packages are just coming out of rcs, and alpha was long since removed but 
>=alpha1 is package.masked - I am also using this for digikam packages. It 
saves constantly altering the file. Please let me know if you spot any real 
orphan packages owned by KDE and I will look into it.
