Looking at what is listed like this in google:
How to install KDE on Debian - The Debian KDE maintainers website

I find this apparently out of date information:

install KDE on your existing Debian system

If you already have Debian Lenny installed and you want a complete KDE
desktop, install the "kde-desktop" task:

If you open up the aptitude ncurses interface and the the 'not
installed packages' option, the first category you will see is 'tasks'.
If you arrow down you will come across what you are looking for.

I guess you mean the kde-desktop item... but once found I'm not seeing
what else to do. Its really a confusing interface. I keep getting
deeper into trouble but no clue what its doing. I think I may have to
use some other means. Ncurses aptitude is a mine field and seems only
to offer version 3.5 of kde.
