Ok, I will remove repositories that are neither in stable nor in sid.

I asked you to review just your repos, not *everything* :)

As said above, I will do a bit more cleanup.

Because it was created in an unusual way:
https://anonscm.debian.org/viewvc/pkg-kde?view=revision&revision=12873

“move old kde4 packaging to a tag”

The conversion script creates a Git commit for every Svn commit.
Is this really a problem?

Good catch, I will delete upstream branches.

Again, it is an issue with the original SVN repo. The directory was
created, not copied from trunk:
https://anonscm.debian.org/viewvc/pkg-kde?view=revision&revision=3483
