Careful there, KDE is explicitly excluded from LTS in Hardy (but the EOL date
you quote is probably correct, the regular support time is 1.5 years). Their
rationale: KDE 3 is too old for LTS, KDE 4 is too new. And they're planning to
move to KDE 4 only in Intrepid (i.e. Hardy+1, about the time F10 releases).

That's pretty much the ONLY option if you want to keep 3.5 that long, and be
aware that Debian does NOT fix any bugs in stable, with the exception of
security bugs and sometimes some big showstoppers (but even that isn't
guaranteed, only security fixes are). Basically, you get things as they are at
the moment of the Lenny release, with only security fixes.
