We’ve filed bugs for all the rdeps not in our team’s perimeter some weeks back [1]. We will be bumping their severity to RC in preparation the upload of Plasma 6 to unstable. We've tried our best to identify affected packages but we may have missed some so if you know your packages depend on Plasma and they're not in this list please do double check compatibility with Plasma 6.

Plasma 6 has now migrated to testing/trixie and things are looking pretty good.

We’re maintaining a list of notable changes and issues here :
