I mean Debian is LTS in that sense. You'll be able use the old version with X11 plasma for many many years
I'm aware, but doesn't the lack of an LTS for KDE make things difficult for Debian's maintainers?
EDIT: Wrote "thing" instead of "things" at first.
Not more so than any other non LTS package. Backporting bugfixes can be anything from trivial cherrypicking to practically impossible.
