Basically as far as I am aware Debian Qt/KDE team never actually cared about that a Plasma LTS release would be used. In the end, critical fixes could be forward- or backported from an LTS release to whatever version Debian stable will have. And after end of LTS, a forward- or backport of a fix would be needed anyway. Also AFAIR this has been discussed here or on another Debian KDE related mailing list before. Best, -- Martin
