To quote myself in #913065:

"
  The qgis package in Debian tracks the LTR releases (in the upstream LTR
  repo), which doesn't have 3.4 yet.

  See: 
https://www.qgis.org/en/site/getinvolved/development/roadmap.html#release-schedule

  The 3.4.5 [release] is after the soft-freeze so we may not be able to 
get it into
  buster, it will find its way into buster-backports eventually.
"

Since QGIS 3.4 switches to Qt5 and Python 3, this change is quite 
invasive, we don't have Python 3 support in GRASS yet, so the 
integration in QGIS will likely be broken.

Kind Regards,

Bas
