This builds successfully:
https://salsa.debian.org/qt-kde-team/kde/krfb/-/merge_requests/2
I haven't tested it beyond sbuild succeeding: I don't use KDE myself, so I
don't know how the pieces fit together.
If it's anything like GNOME, then it might not be possible to actually
*use* the functionality provided by this PipeWire dependency until a
sufficiently new version of kwin has been built with PipeWire support
enabled, in which case the only testing that is required would be to
check that it doesn't cause regressions for things that already work -
but perhaps the "shape" of the KDE stack is sufficiently different that
it doesn't need PipeWire in the compositor like GNOME does.
