Hi!

Just for you to be aware of. If you are on X11 you might want to delay the 
update to Plasma 6.3 in unstable.

Bug report on upstream tracker:

kwin is crashing whenever I plug/unplug HDMI external LCD 

https://bugs.kde.org/499846

However it is not exactly unusable. After a few crashes I usually have the 
setup I want. :)

A fix has already been proposed and as soon as a package with that fix 
enters the archive you should be fine.

So if you see this: there is no need to report upstream or with Debian. 
Upstream has already has three duplicates and Debian's Qt/KDE team is 
aware. Just give it some time and all will be fine.

Or use it as a divine hint to use Wayland (in case it fully works for 
you). :)

Otherwise Plasma 6.3 is very fine on my system. Thanks a lot for another 
great packaging work!

Best,
