Ben, just a short clarification for that one:

Debian has an autoremoval process of packages from testing due to bug 
reports of a certain priority. I think Maxy may have referred to this 
process ("if it comes to that").

There has been the consideration to replace plasma-pa by kmix 
temporarily, but I think this was not really a good option.

Anyway, Maxy just uploaded Plasma 5.13 to Debian Unstable with gconf 
module support removed, so plasma-pa will still be available, although 
with a limited functionality (no virtual sound devices).

Thanks,
