Stretch will have KF 5/Plasma 5 based Kontact + Dolphin.
So the other way around is more likely. As far as I heard the intention is to
have most apps available in KF 5 / Qt 5 variants. I have already seen KF 5 /
Qt 5 uploads of kde extras apps like Kaffeine, smplayer and others. Amarok,
Krita, Digikam, KMyMoney still missing. I am not sure about Amarok, but I
think the others will be ready for packaging in time.

Dolphin in unstable is KF 5 / Qt 5 based already. KDEPIM + Akonadi in
experimental, soon in unstable I bet, too.

You can help.
For any bugs in KF 5 based wallet, I suggest you check with upstream
bugtracker at bugs.kde.org and if there are critical bugs also report with
Debian, including a link to the relevant upstream bug report.
