Hi, thanks for sub'ing me to the report.  My PPA's are for testing
purposes only and should not be installed on a production system!!  I'm
quite shocked that an article such as this is recommending installing it
from a PPA.

When the KF5 port of kdeconnect was released, to keep them separated,
the Kubuntu team decided to use new packaging called kdeconnect-plasma.
However, upstream (KDE) did not follow this suggestion and continued
releasing as kdeconnect.  Debian then, only recently, used the old
packaging for the KF5 port and we (Kubuntu) want to follow this path.

The package does indeed need some replaces/breaks as you suggest. I was
working on it to try and get it into Yakkety, but due to other
commitments was not able to finish it.  If you want to use the one in my
PPA you will need to remove kdeconnect-plasma manually and then install
it.
