What is actually the overall plan for KDE4 in buster now?
A year ago I was told that only qtwebkit should be removed at that
point, and the rest of KDE4 later for buster.
Someone else told me they were planning to do it after updating
all KDE packages to the latest release.
No matter what advice I followed someone was yelling at me,
so I gave up working on that.
Looking at kde-runtime in buster:
# Broken Depends:
basket: basket
kaccessible: kaccessible
kamerka: kamerka
kcollectd: kcollectd
kdbg: kdbg
kdiff3: kdiff3
keurocalc: keurocalc
kmetronome: kmetronome

kprinter4: kprinter4
kradio4: kradio4
kredentials: kredentials
kremotecontrol: kremotecontrol
kscd: kscd
kvpnc: kvpnc
syncevolution: syncevolution-libs-kde
Making the bugs in these packages RC (some packages like kdbg or
kmetronome already have Qt5 versions that someone might upload to
unstable) plus an upload of kopete from experimental to unstable,
that's what would be needed for complete removal of kde-runtime.
Complete removal of kde4libs would add another list of comparable size,
with no obvious blocker.
