Use Debian Sid + Experimental. apt-get dist-upgrade -u. Look closely at what 
gets removed.

In case it wants to remove kdenetwork, kdemultimedia and kdeedu, you can try 
to install-upgrade them to KDE Applications 14.12 versions by using apt-get 
-t experimental. But it may deinstall your KDE SC 4.14. So it may be better 
to do it afterwards and let it remove it temporarily. I did it from running 
KDE SC 4.14 desktop. It may be safer to do this on TTY1 :)

Make sure kwin-x11 is installed.

Also upgrade kdegraphics with Okular, Gwenview, … (is at 14.12) and kde-
baseapps with Dolphin, Konsole, … (is at 15.04) to experimental versions

Make sure sddm is installed, but I bet it will. I am not sure whether its 
mandatory, but for an integrated experience, select sddm as display manager 
(dpkg-reconfigure sddm).

Log out. Log in with Plasma Workspace as session.

If you do not want experimental, wait a bit longer for upload of packages to 
unstable.

I won´t do any wiki page at this time and preliminary stage. This is still 
just for early adopters. And once all stuff is in Sid my experimental hints 
are outdated.

Ciao,
