Was just looking for a package in the kubuntu-experimental and there
is only 16 packages left there
(https://launchpad.net/~kubuntu-experimental/+archive/ppa). It looks
like they have removed all KDE 4.2 packages from the experimental or
is it another PPA you refering to?
When the KDE 4.2 packages was added to backports I had to deactivate
the experimantal PPA as I got a lot of errors.
