Please read the thread "So I have a Plasma 5 desktop". It has all been 
discussed there.

You need at least: sddm, plasma-desktop, plasma-workspace. You also need kio 
and kwin-x11, dunno whether dependencies have been updated.

And yes, some metapackages kde-full and kde-standard will have to go for 
now. The update is not atomic. I bet they can be installed at a later time 
or may even be replaced by something like plasma-full and plasma-standard.

Remember you are using unstable. And the Debian Qt/KDE team is quite small. 
Give it some time till completion. Or help.

Thanks,
