Nice work.
Just one thing:

This looks like an attempt to keep the current branch-group naming for
compatibility and ease of transition. But I fear it makes things harder to
understand in the longer term.
Would who guess that kf5-qt5 means plasma devel, since the name says nothing
about plasma?
I think the concept works, but the actual naming of the divisions should be
improved, even if it means we need to update our kdesrc-buildrc files (or some
compat code maps from old names to new names).
Plasma5Devel-KF5 and Plasma5Stable-KF5 would already be better names for the
divisions .... but then what happens with apps on top? :)
I guess the divisions will include apps in the same state as plasma?
So this is really AppsAndPlasmaDevel-KF5 and AppsAndPlasmaStable-KF5,
both quite unreadable :)
(Just Devel-KF5 and Stable-KF5 would make one thing the adjective applies to
KF5, so no go)
Sorry for starting a naming bikeshed, but I fear that the divison concept
won't work out well if we can't find proper names for the "divisions", because
then people will keep getting confused about what's in them.
