$apt-cache show kdevelop

The maintainer will be listed on the 4th line.

I'm running Dapper so kdevelop isn't in the repository or I'd have just
pasted it here.  It's now kdevelop3.

Actually that might answer your other question, now that I think about it.

I'd suggest waiting till Dapper is released on June 1.  If it were
earlier in the year I'd have suggested requesting a backport.

Compiling from source is probably your best bet, followed by installing
with checkinstall.

There's always the option seeking out a Debian package or converting an
RPM with alien, but that often can cause conflicts.

I only do that out of absolute desperation. :-)
