I'm not seeing any hard dependency on 6.7.2.  In particular, on my machine,
I have gwenview 4:24.08.1-1 installed, and

# aptitude search '?narrow(?installed,?version(6\.7\.))'

shows only python-pyqt6 packages installed.

Are you maybe accidentally pulling in all the experimental dependencies with
`-t experimental` and/or did you not set up your apt preferences?
