Ben, just a short clarification for that one: Debian has an autoremoval process of packages from testing due to bug reports of a certain priority. I think Maxy may have referred to this process ("if it comes to that"). There has been the consideration to replace plasma-pa by kmix temporarily, but I think this was not really a good option. Anyway, Maxy just uploaded Plasma 5.13 to Debian Unstable with gconf module support removed, so plasma-pa will still be available, although with a limited functionality (no virtual sound devices).
