Basically as far as I am aware Debian Qt/KDE team never actually cared
about that a Plasma LTS release would be used. In the end, critical fixes
could be forward- or backported from an LTS release to whatever version
Debian stable will have. And after end of LTS, a forward- or backport of
a fix would be needed anyway.
Also AFAIR this has been discussed here or on another Debian KDE related
mailing list before.
Best,
