Rolling back is not easy. I suggest, to remove or comment out the entry in 
sources.list of debian/testing.


Then start aptitude. Now mark all packages to the required versions to install 
and mark those with the wrong version to deinstall.

You have to walk through all dependencies (also libs) and have to set the 
required dependencies manually.

I admit, this is very annoying, but has to be done.

Doing so, you might get a stable system again.

Another way (but untested by me) is this:

Remove the entry of debian/testing

Do apt-get remove kde-*

(This will deinstall most packages)

Do apt-get remove `deborphan --guess-all`

Do apt-get autoremove

Then reinstall all kde packages and libs again.

However, be warned!!! This might influence other applications and make a lot of 
trouble, so I suggest the other way I described above.

Good luck!

   Hi,
 
 Using testing, I see that KDE5 is (almost ?) complete in it. What
 would be the best way to prepare for a rollback after upgrade if I see
 that it does not work enough for me ?
