I thought point-releases of Debian were aimed at uploading newer versions of packages to Stable as long as the feature set remained consistent (no breaking change or major user experience modification).
No, point releases of stable simply pack stable updates made since the previous point release, and the stable updates policy is "bugfixes only" (and even then).
Does this mean I misunderstood the idea behind point-releases, or do Debian KDE team consider minor releases (eg 6.x) of Plasma to be "too much" of a jump forward, making them unsuitable for point-releases ?
Probably both. I wouldn't say that "minor releases (eg 6.x) of Plasma" are "the feature set remained consistent (no breaking change or major user experience modification)".
