I don't know where this information is coming from, but 5.19.5 is in testing
right now. Experimental has 5.20 and there's talk of getting 5.20.5 in time
for the freeze, so we'll probably end up with some iteration of 5.20 in stable
if I had to take a stab at it. I cannot imagine a world where Debian's KDE
team puts in all the work to get these newer versions in, just to roll back to
something that is older than what is in current stable. Current stable
(Buster) uses 5.14! So rest easy, there's no way we're going to have 5.12 or
5.8 in stable, it's just not a thing.
