You're not making any sense there, to be honest.

The situation with kdepim is that it won't be ready to be released
with KDE 4.5.0, but only a bit later; it is going to be released
with 4.5.1 or 4.5.2. Hence kdepim is currently at beta1, while
the rest of the KDE SC is already at rc1.

However, kde-unstable has already shipped both KDE SC 4.5 beta1
and beta2 (as well as betas of previous KDE SC releases, including
the respective kdepim betas!), so kde-unstable is obviously OK to
cary beta-level KDE releases for a long time.

There's a beta of a kdepim release. It's going into kde-unstable.
Just like the beta of kdepim 4.4. And 4.3. And 4.2. ...

There's nothing unusual about this, except that the production
release of kdepim 4.5 is delayed a bit beyond the release of the
rest of the SC.
