Nothing; that's just the way Debian works. If you want newer versions of KDE
software, you'll need to wait for the next major Debian version, switch to
Debian Testing, or switch to a different distro that ships more recent versions
of KDE software.

Why not? That's how things get fixed.

In principle I'm not against adding a 512 size. Unfortunately a technical
blocker is the fact that the XDG thumbnail spec only goes up to 256px. So we
would not actually have any 512px thumbnails to display for the new larger
512px icons. This is a thing that irritates me in other contexts too, but we
need the XDG thumbnail spec to be updated first before we can consider 512px
thumbnails.
