I'm not part of the Debian Qt/KDE team but the official statement was written down here: https://lists.debian.org/debian-kde/2024/11/msg00016.html "The plans of the Qt / KDE team is to release Trixie with : - Qt 5 & 6 - KDE Frameworks 5 aka KF5 (based on Qt 5) & KF6 (based on Qt6) [...] " So probably no concerns. > If so, I'd appreciate any input on my attempt to get a Kf6 > version of it into Debian [1].

If you want a Qt6 version of kbibtex, please push the upstream author to release one. >From the tracking point of view, kbibtex is still primarily a KF5 application: https://invent.kde.org/sysadmin/repo-metadata/-/blob/master/projects-invent/office/kbibtex/i18n.json?ref_type=heads That's the first bit that should be changed, i.e. a Qt6- only master branch.
