I tried it and some other folks from #debiain-qt-kde channel reported success
as well.But I live in Sid and I like it dangerous. (former Archlinux user
here) so my tolerance level for bugs and problems is quite high.

Despite there are people who behave quite aggressively when Norbert's name is
invoked I think the issue you've brought up is quite real. Nobody should be
offended, but instead should be worried about the fact that we observe split of
the community here. Technical work has been done, but it not included into
Debian. I personally feel that this is a bad situation and must not be
ignored.
I have started the work to compare Ubuntu's and Norbert's debdiffs, and in the
end I plan to submit PRs to to kde repositories in Salsa. Hopefully there will
be someone to review and accept it as I am new to Debian packaging.
