I would like to say a big thank you to Steve, Michael, and all others
for helping with this. Last couple of days I did some rebuilds of rdeps
of qhull, poked some riscv64 build failures, and retried various tests
in the transition, but did not realistically expect migration to happen
for some time yet.

This means I can now get on with making some serious progress for
Kubuntu (and now Studio as they use KDE Plasma), merging KDE frameworks
from unstable as they are now rarely at version parity with us, and
getting new KDE plasma 5.19 ready. The latter needs 2 new source package
uploads which are not in debian yet, and may not be for some time, so
forewarning that I will likely be pestering AAs for reviews ;).
