Today I found this page:
https://qa.debian.org/developer.php?email=debian-qt-kde%40lists.debian.org
I got there through clicking on the maintainer link in the top left on
https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/kdecoration
That page has a huge table with all the things maintained by the QT/KDE
maintainers. On there I searched for "5.21" and at the moment the only package
still on that version is ksysguard. But it's being removed in favour of
plasma-systemmonitor.
I don't think you can see whether all KDE packages are being updated at the
same time through apt. Which is really a shame because it's not the first time
something broke because of a partial KDE update for me.
To add to the bug report itself, there is nothing left on 5.21 according to
that page, so I updated everything. First installed the "bad" version with
dpkg from the apt cache so apt doesn't want me to fix the broken install, and
then a normal (dist-)upgrade (after an update). Working fine for me and
everything is in working condition again.
