** Description changed:

  Shipping a stable and reliable Qt 6 stack is critical for the success of
  Lubuntu, Kubuntu, and Ubuntu Studio. We would like to ship Qt 6.8.3 in
  Ubuntu 25.04, which will provide an extra level of polish for our users.
  
  Qt's release schedules surprisingly align with Ubuntu's:
   - https://wiki.qt.io/Qt_6.8_Release - targeted for 25.04
   - https://wiki.qt.io/Qt_6.9_Release - targeted for 25.10
   - https://wiki.qt.io/Qt_6.10_Release - targeted for 26.04 LTS
  
  6.8.3 is expected to maintain complete API and ABI compatibility, as is
  tradition with patch releases. This being said, we bump virtual packages
  provided by some of the private Qt library packages. Packages depending
  on version 6.8.2 of that require a no-change rebuild.
  
  A graph of the Qt 6 build dependencies can be found here: https://qt-
  kde-team.pages.debian.net/images/qt6_build_deps.png
  
  The transition page can be found here: https://ubuntu-archive-
  team.ubuntu.com/transitions/html/qt6base-abi-6.8.3.html
  
  The transition will be prepared here: https://launchpad.net/~ci-train-
  ppa-service/+archive/ubuntu/4984/+packages
  
  Immediately after 6.8.3 is officially released, we will upload final
  revisions to the PPA, then do a binary copy over. This ensures the
  entire stack can become a (notest) candidate in a single publisher run.
  
  This does not break any of the freezes, perhaps with the exception of
  Beta Freeze. This was communicated early and often, and if an exception
  is required, consider this a request to grant one.
  
  This is optional due to the scope of the update itself, but optional acknowledgements from one or more representatives of the following teams would be great:
   - Lubuntu (self-signing off, this is a 25.04 release blocker)
-  - Kubuntu
+  - Kubuntu (ACK received in comment #2)
   - Ubuntu Studio (ACK received in comment #1)
   - Ubuntu Release Team
  
  Thanks in advance.
