Yes and no.

We have packages for KDE 3.5.4 for edgy and dapper - but not breezy or
hoary, both are still supported.  Same in the case of kopete - I've had
one user ask for a package for breezy.  That's all.

Basically, it's a case of demand - if people want it, and it builds
without trouble, then sure, we'll likely continue to backport it.

There will still be security updates for kde 3.5.2 with dapper, as that
was shipped.  Perhaps there will be a backport of 3.5.5 or something -
who knows?  Depends how stable it is, and if it offers major
improvements without breaking anything.

Generally though, you do need to upgrade if you want to keep up with the
latest packages, and all the bugfixes.
