I leave any bug reporting to you, cause after you spend the time you spent, I think you have deeper insight, yet, I wrote to distributions mailing list about it: kwalletmanager5 cannot access kwallet4 kwl files https://mail.kde.org/pipermail/distributions/2016-March/000040.html Feel free to include a link to this in any Debian or upstream bug report you like to make.
