Ahhh, there's your explanation! Qt4 was never updated for hires displays as far 
as I know. Or if it has support it is almost certainly less evolved. Note 
though that Qt4 also supported SVG icons already (as well as scaling png icons) 
so it does have the necessary functionality to display icons at the right size. 
Those sizes just have to be calculated manually. I'm afraid no one will want to 
bother adapting such "ooold" code to solve what is not much more than a 
cosmetics issue.

Okular indeed hasn't yet been released in a KF5 version to my knowledge (it 
does exist though), but for KDialog I see no real excuse to ship the KDE4 
versions other than "it's Debian".

FWIW, KF5 and KDE4 applications store their settings in different locations. It 
may be worth a shot to verify if you have both versions of the systemsettings 
app (systemsettings and systemsettings5 in that case) and check if they both 
show the same (your) icon size configuration.
