Using KDE's QT release or making it available in backports

[Michael Rans]

 There is a new PPA https://launchpad.net/~ci-train-ppa-service/+archive/ubuntu/4829  with KDE's QT patches for 22.04.
Also there is a plan https://salsa.debian.org/qt-kde-team/qt/qtwayland/-/merge_requests/5#note_305550  that these be included in Debian and hence they will hopefully make their way officially to Kubuntu.

  Given that KDE have effectively taken over regular maintenance of the QT 5.x version (for non-commercial users), would it make sense to switch to KDE's release instead of QT's?

KDE rebased their repo to QT 5.15.3 a few weeks ago in this commit: https://invent.kde.org/qt/qt/qt5/-/commit/dc01793b3b194302a0174921cc30bfc15c985bf4 so they bring in all the latest changes from QT while adding other fixes of their own including for Wayland support. I realise that this may require changes upstream in Debian (which are discussed here: https://salsa.debian.org/qt-kde-team/qt/qtwayland/-/merge_requests/5), so could Kubuntu backports be a good place to make KDE's version of QT available?
Thanks,Mike
