kdeconnect regression 22.12.3 to 24.12.0

[Albert Vaca Cintora]

I might be wrong, but I think it's a bug that plasma-firewall pulls
firewalld as a dependency, especially if it becomes enabled by default just
by installing it. Maybe this is something that you could report to Debian?
The way I see it, plasma-firewalld is just a way to configure your firewall
IF you have one, and shouldn't force you to have one.
