Newer KDE/Plasma stuff in Stable? (was: Re: Some KDE applications still outdated)

Hello Erwan.

You kinda hi-jacked this thread, thus changing subject.

I am not aware of one. I believe there has been a discussion about it here 
somewhat recently. The Debian Qt/KDE team is quite small… and they are 
occupied with getting the new stuff into Sid/Testing already in addition to 
attending to bug reports and security fixes for Stable. So I think someone 
else would need to volunteer for doing a backport.

If you want to have new Plasma/KDE stuff you have to either use Testing, the 
upcoming Buster, or Unstable.

Thanks,
