Hi Martin,
I can confirm I see no REMOVALS of KF/KP/KG packages when I simulate
an (dist-)upgrade.
Can you boot into KDE version 5.26.4 with QT version 5.15.7 packages

Do the KDE applications work as (you) expected?
Thanks

P.S.: I checked myself with apt VS. apt-get (upgrade and full-upgrade
VS. dist-upgrade).
