Yes but no. The new binary is plasma5-integration. It was just an oversight.

See above we're not in that case here. I'm not convinced we would save time with such a thing but if you want to explore that and share feedback, feel free.

That would be very useful if it did anything. But it requires someone (upstream, us) to write some tests that can run under autopkgtest.
autopkgtest [1] runs against the installed system, not from the build tree so you need something that tests the result of apt install $package, not of cmake+make.
KDE didn't have that, that I now, but they started building some end user tests using Selenium ~recently.
If $someone wants to look at KDE packages with selenium tests and can make them run as autokpgtests, I'd be very interested in merging such changes !
