 - People would be able to backport plasmoids and upload them to backports.org 
However, KDE 4.1.x term is pretty short and this point might not be very 
important.

I would also prefer this approach. Actually, a mixed one. More bleeding edge 
backports at kde4.debian.net and once they all meet backports.org requirements 
(i.e. testing migration), they can be re-uploaded to backports.org

Initially, they can be amd64/i386. Maybe someone will volunteer to build 
powerpc packages and when packages meet backports.org criteria, they can be 
reuploaded there to benefit from backports.org pros.
