4.4 won't be moved out of the ppa as it upgrades qt to 4.6, which could break  
non-kde apps that rely on the version in karmic

4.5 won't be made available for karmic, and as Lucid will have 4.4, this 
should not be an issue if you don't use ppa's then. 4.4 will be available in 
the ppa for Karmic at least until after work begins on Lucid+1
