^ that needs to be killed in favor of qapt-deb-installer. it's not
maintained and not seeded.

^ in addition to checking why it depends on the old runtime package
this likely also needs verification whether it even works with the kf5
gwenview, if not it probably should be killed

they can all be killed. looking at the names I haven't seen any ported
to plasma5 and to be honest I rather feel that serious c++ widgets
should be packed into kdeplasma-addons anyway these atomic tiny
independent releases are impossible to manage. so, you or Jonathan can
probably just go through them with a flamethrower.
