Probably not very feasible.
One issue is that Debian & Qt have different release schedules. Debian
releases happen roughly every 2 years whereas Qt LTS releases happen
every 18 months (if they keep the schedule).
That means that it aligns well for some releases (like trixie), but
badly for other releases. In the worst case, Qt could be close to 2
years old when Debian is released if we stick to LTS releases.
Another complication is that the KDE regularly requires quite recent
versions of its dependencies. The KDE 6 megarelease in February requires
Qt 6.6 and has done so since the first alpha release. In other words, a
6-months old LTS Qt was already too old.
If we have to stick to old KDE versions, the entire KDE stack might be
out of support before Debian even gets to its first freeze.
