There are two other possible approaches to this, which can make sense
depending on how many Qt4 based applications using KWallet could not be
replaced in time for Stretch:
1) Installing kwalletmanager for KDE 4 along side. Fedora did it this way. It
has the disadvantage tough having two versions of wallets with diverging
content.
2) There is a branch that makes the KDE SC 4 kwallet use the data from the KF
5 based kwallet. But it is stalled¹.
See the thread "kwalletmanager5 cannot access kwallet4 kwl files" I started in
upstreams distributions mailing list².

Additionally there is this thread on debian-kde:
How do I open a kwallet4 in Stretch?

Even testing had 16.04 of Dolphin meanwhile. KDEPIM is still in experimental.
