make sure plasma-workspace and kde-plasma-desktop are installed (was: Re: Plasma 6 coming to unstable)

I upgraded two Plasma 6 on experimental systems just fine. No issues
whatsoever!
I also upgraded one pure unstable machine with Plasma 5. apt wanted to
removed plasma-workspace and kde-plasma-desktop. I installed
plasma-workspace afterwards again as I had no Plasma session in SDDM to
choose from after reboot. I installed kde-plasma-desktop afterwards again
as I only had a black screen with working krunner but no Plasma desktop
with background after just installing plasma-workspace.
Both meta packages are needed.
It is unclear to me on why apt wanted to remove those essential meta
packages as they were perfectly installable.
So if you are upgrading from unstable, please make sure that you have
these two meta packages installed or reinstall them.
The desktop now appearing lost the background image I set for it and the
control panel seems to have lost some quick starter applet for some apps,
but otherwise appears to be just fine. I have seen loosing applets on
previous Plasma 5 to 6 from experimental upgrades before, but was able to
add new equivalent applets for most of the stuff. So maybe that is to be
expected on upgrade.
Best,
