The Debian KDE team is working fully focused on moving kde 4.6.3 from unstable (sid) repository to the testing (wheezy) repository. They have mentioned that they will not be working on bringing KDE 4.6.4 to unstable. Their priority is to finish off any remaining work on KDE 4.6.3 and move it to testing. Testing repository still is in KDE 4.4 and users have been waiting for an official major release for more than an years.
Given that KDE 4.7 beta1 is already released, if 4.6.3 is not pushed to testing before KDE upstream releases 4.7, users of the testing repository will be two three major versions behind. So, I feel that Team Debian KDE is focused on the right thing. Lets wait and see what happens.
Update: KDE 4.6.3 entered testing repositories as of June 8, much quicker than I anticipated.
