I leave any bug reporting to you, cause after you spend the time you spent, I
think you have deeper insight, yet, I wrote to distributions mailing list
about it:
kwalletmanager5 cannot access kwallet4 kwl files
https://mail.kde.org/pipermail/distributions/2016-March/000040.html
Feel free to include a link to this in any Debian or upstream bug report you
like to make.
Thanks,
