The intent of Debian's model is to have everything work through their
maintainers, though - the perceived slowness there is necessary in their
approach so that their team can arrange the whole operating system together as
they see fit. So, if it doesn't go through their maintainers, then it may never
get fixed in the Debian version you're using as they are generally not adopting
new upstream versions of KDE software (they generally only "pull" individual
patches as they see fit, rather than whole new versions of KDE software getting
"pushed").

I appreciate your looking toward the future of the software - when using
Debian, the best way to test how current versions are working and report
upstream bugs would likely be to use a Flatpak version (which is in sync with
the most current release) and test it there, rather than any Debian-packaged
versions. If the same behavior exhibits itself in the Flatpak, then this would
definitely make sense to re-open based on the current software version.
