Hello dear Debian KDE maintainers,

It seems that my current unstable system is......hardly stable..:-)

After a huge dist-upgrade (following 3 weeks where I didn't do any
update at all), I now have a barely usable KDE environment.

I don't follow things closely but I seem to be in the middle of a KDE
4->5 transition.....but stuck in it..:-)

First attempt:

packages....
