OK. No problem. But right now, there's not much I can do. Both package requires at least Qt 6.10, so I'll wait for the base package to get updated then I'll begin my work. It's here: https://salsa.debian.org/ybx332/plasma-keyboard/ (in salsa, under username ybx332, project name plasma-keyboard) and for plasma-login-manager , I haven't started working on it yet. 

I tend to start working on it after I finish the work for packaging plasma-keyboard.
