Okay, I see the first packages from Maxy start to appear in binary form:
merkaba:~> apt-cache search kf5
baloo4 - Rahmenwerk für Suchen/Verwalten von Metadaten
phonon4qt5-backend-vlc - VLC-Backend für Phonon4Qt5
libkf5attica-dev - development files for libkf5attica5
libkf5attica5 - Qt library that implements the Open Collaboration Services
API
libkf5attica5-dbg - debug symbols for libattica5
libkf5idletime-dev - development headers for the kidletime library
libkf5idletime5 - library to provide information about idle time
libkf5idletime5-dbg - debugging symbols for the kidletime libraries
libkf5itemviews-data - Qt library with additional widgets for ItemModels
libkf5itemviews-dev - Qt library with additional widgets for ItemModels
libkf5itemviews5 - Qt library with additional widgets for ItemModels
libkf5itemviews5-dbg - Qt library with additional widgets for ItemModels
libkf5plotting-dev - development files for kplotting
libkf5plotting5 - KPlotting provides classes to do plotting.
libkf5plotting5-dbg - debug symbols for kplotting
libkf5widgetsaddons-data - add-on widgets and classes for applications
that use the Qt Widgets module
libkf5widgetsaddons-dev - development files for kwidgetsaddons
libkf5widgetsaddons5 - add-on widgets and classes for applications that
use the Qt Widgets module
libkf5widgetsaddons5-dbg - debug symbols for kwidgetsaddons
The kf5attica have been there for ages, but also is already in
experimental now as 5.6.0 version, and the others are definately new.
So it seems packages start appearing in binary form now.
Above are only libraries and only a few, Maxy uploaded a lot (!) more
packages to experimental, as Plasma 5.2 and especially KDE Frameworks 5.6
is much more modular than KDE SC 4. It makes sense to wait for the plasma
5 meta packages to install Plasma 5.2 based on KDE Frameworks 5.6.
I still bet we might get a hint once that is possible.
So for now *happily looking forward to it*,
