I can agree that something in Plasma should depend/recommend xdg-desktop- portal-kde. But neither KDE+Wayland nor pipewire are defaults for Debian, so users wanting to use them are expected to do some work. Granted, it would be just awesome if no action would be required, but that is sadly not the case here. I am so downgrading this bug to normal. I would argue that this bug should be retitled to only care about the xdg- desktop-portal-kde package. Kinds regards, Lisandro.
