Hello Aurélien,

just to let you know, there's already a packaging for Kaidan available here [1]. Thank you for
your interest. I'd be happy if it could be maintained by the Qt/KDE-Team. :)

The packaging for QXmpp 1.3.1 is also available on the launchpad branch already [2].

I also wanted to ask already, why qxmpp is currently not moved to unstable in debian. I guess it's
because the maintainer of the source repository changed.

Kind regards,
Linus
