yes, as we only really package the accounts stack for Plasma and we won’t be 
needing the Qt5 compatibility for trixie we won’t be maintaining it as part of 
our team’s work. But patches (MR or BTS) are welcome if you need it for other 
parts of Debian.

I remember reading that clients need to match the Qt version used to compile 
signond for things to work but I cannot seem to find where I found this.
If that’s correct it means you’d need 2 binary packages for signond conflicting 
with each other.

There is some discussion on this topic here :
