I use testing, upgrade several times a week. The only weird thing that
happened to me is Zeroconf gets installed as a depends on KDE-Network
meta-package, and I ended up in the twilight zone of 169.254.x.x. Not
sure what else could happen with Zeroconf , I do have a dhcp server
running just fine on my firewall. I don't use KDE as my desktop/window
manager , but I use quite a few kde apps.
