Dear Maintainer,

The package plasma-discover Recommends the non-existent package
software-properties-qt in debian 13 (stable, trixie) and debian testing.

This is a violation of point 2.2.1 of debian policy[1]:

"""
Every package in main must comply with the DFSG (Debian Free Software Guidelines).

In addition, the packages in main

must not require or recommend a package outside of main for compilation
or execution (thus, the package must not declare a Pre-Depends, Depends,
**Recommends**, Build-Depends, Build-Depends-Indep, or Build-Depends-Arch
relationship on a non-main package unless that package is only listed as
a non-default alternative for a package in main),
"""

plasma-discover is in the main part of the archive,
software-properties-qt is not in the main part of the archive, it is not
in stable nor testing.

Please remove the dependency, patch attached.

Thanks.
