I don't have any of those packages installed any more (the first two
are meta-packages, anyway). I did, however, have to install
Plasma-Desktop on one machine after the upgrade because it didn't get
installed during the upgrade. I also had to delete ~/.config/kwin* and
~/.config/plasma* otherwise Plasma came up to a black screen. Klipper
has been replaced with Clipboard so is no longer necessary. Keep in
mind I'm using testing, not sid.
If you/she _need_ Digikam, you might want to hold off because, as I said,
IDK whether that will be installable after the upgrade.

I won't guarantee there will be no issues, but the upgrade should be
fairly smooth. However, as you're talking about a Sid machine, breakage
is always a possibility. Heeding Eike's advice could also save you a
world of hurt.
Perhaps a Sid install on the wife's machine wasn't the wisest of choices.
