It looks like the problem is that aptitude only looks at the first provider of the newest version of a package when deciding what the tasks of a package are. kdeadmin is available in both unstable and experimental, but only the unstable version has Task: kde-desktop. Since kdeadmin is a key package for the kde-desktop task, aptitude doesn't consider the task to be available if kdeadmin isn't in it. I guess the best solution to this problem is to consider a package to be part of a task if any of its versions is in the task. I'm not sure why this isn't already the case; my guess is that this code hasn't changed since 2001 (when the changelog says it was introduced), and I just made a bad decision when I initially wrote it.
