Because that's the Ubuntu app, not the Kubuntu one. For Kubuntu, it'd
be kpackagekit --updates that normally installs your updates.  Though
kpackagekit --help doesn't give an option for getting the development
version. This is probably since KPK isn't Kubuntu-specific (it's meant
to be used for RPM-based distros too), but now makes me wonder how
other Kubuntu users test the development version. I use "sudo
do-release-upgrade -d" but I suppose not everyone does...  Might also
be a moot point now that Muon is replacing it in 11.10 (but does Muon
have such an option?)

That's odd. Did you use gksudo/kdesu at the beginning of that command?
