Please keep in mind that the release team raised valid concerns. And on 
any account it is important to treat them with respect. They are doing a 
challenging job on a challenging time frame. You know Debian Stable is 
called stable for a reason! To ensure that it requires excellent 
cooperation between the package developers and the release time. Please 
respect that.

I recommend against posting to the bug report, the Qt/KDE team is doing 
a marvelous job at arguing in favor of having at least the packages with 
changes or at least with non-cosmetic changes from 5.27.5 in Bookworm. 
Please let them do their job. In case you installed 5.27.5 from 
experimental, tested it and like to vote on its stability, please do so 
here. And for not on the bug report. Someone from the Qt/KDE team can 
point to the thread with the votes if need be.

Plasma 5.27.5 installed here.

% aptitude install -t experimental '~i ~V5\.27\.2'

% dpkg -l | grep "5\.27\.2"
[… no output …]

I bet there is a variant for this for "apt" as well, but I never looked 
it up.

Please only do so if you are willing to help testing and are careful 
about reading apt/aptitude output and about aborting the process in case 
it likes to remove packages you'd rather want to keep. Here I had no 
issues with upgrading, but that does not mean that it works on your 
system as well.

Best,
