Basically: kde-runtime contains kio-sftp, which links against libssh,
which links against OpenSSL. Some parts of this chain uses different
license than other parts. This is legal issue (with technical
implications) and Debian maintainers and KDE developers disagreed how
it should be handled, both parties saying that issue is on the other
side.
You can read https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=750867
and https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=337397 if you are interested
in details and want to paint broader picture.
From what I understand, consensus has been reached and sftp support
will be re-introduced in next release of KDE packages in Debian. Until
then, you may downgrade your packages (probably bad idea) or rebuild
them to enable support of sftp.
