not that I know better, just an approach I've tought of. Probably overkill, but should guarantee to catch all qml-* dependencies.
Looking recursively into all *.qml source files and grepping for the "import org.kde.*" lines. In a few minutes I've put together
the following and checked inside plasma-workspace source
$ grep -r "import org.kde." . | grep -oP '(?<=import).*(?= )' | sort -d | uniq

For sure someone with more experience can come up with a better version that analyzes only *.qml files and greps only the name of the QML module.
Comparing the list here above with the list of qml6-module-org-kde-* packages that were dropped in [1], I see
- plasma-workspace depended on qml6-module-org-kde-breeze and qml6-module-org-kde-plasma-plasma5support that do not seem to be strictly required
- org.kde.milou seems to be a special case in the name of its binary package not following the qml6-module-org-kde-milou style, not a big issue
- most of org.kde.plasma.* modules are likely available in plasma-workspace itself or other plasma-* packages
- all the other qml6-module-org-kde-* packages that were dropped from debian/control can be spotted in this way
I know this will require some kind of look-up encyclopedia like we have in pkg-kde-dev-scripts/function_collection/cmake_deps.yml , I understand
you've been looking for a better approach that doesn't require the effort to prepare and maintain such a file :)
Kind regards
Marco
