Bug#954093: desktop-base: Integration with KDE plasma on debian testing no longer works

Package: desktop-base
Version: 10.0.3
Severity: important

When KDE plasma desktop is installed on Debian testing (currently 
plasma 5.17.5)
the wallpaper you get is not the one set by desktop-base but KDE's 
default. So,
it seems like the integration provided by the script
/usr/share/plasma/shells/org.kde.plasma.desktop/contents/updates/desktop-base.js
is not properly working and would need an update for the newer 
plasma-desktop
versions.

$ cat 
/usr/share/plasma/shells/org.kde.plasma.desktop/contents/updates/desktop-base.js
...
// This script is provided by desktop-base
// It is run by Plasma 5 on upgrade.
// Plasma checks that the script is only run once for each version.
d = desktops()

for (i in d) {
    // Only set up the wallpaper if the plugin is the default.
    // Otherwise it means the user chose another plugin and we don’t 
want to override that.
    if (d[i].wallpaperPlugin == 'org.kde.image') {
        d[i].currentConfigGroup = Array('Wallpaper', 'org.kde.image', 
'General')
        if (!d[i].readConfig('Image')) {
            // Only set up the wallpaper if the wallpaper image is 
empty (=default).
            // Otherwise it means the user selected a picture and we 
don’t want to override that.
            d[i].writeConfig('Image', 'DebianTheme');
        }
    }
}

Apparently the condition inside `if (!d[i].readConfig('Image')) {` is 
always false.
Removing that if solves the issue.
