Gah, obviously I don't either Tim. Have the older repos at ubuntu, say 
for 8.04LTS been recycled by now? I would hope not, but lemme see what 
google upchucks.  Looks like the src repo's are the first to go, nothing 
older than 10.04 LTS and that is at least a version newer.
 
I'll ask on the kubuntu list.

Thanks Tim.
