Thank you for your reply.

No; it's possible to build (and package) all VCL plugins at the same time; it's
just that the packages provided by TDF don't do so.

It's possible, but currently not done for the TDF packages. I'd currently not
add another VCL plugin for TDF's 6.2 builds.
Since gtk3_kde5 is basically gtk3, with the difference that native kde5 file
dialogs are used, using gtk3 would give you quite a good impression of
gtk3_kde5 as well.

The list is used to decide which VCL plugin is used by default. The first one
available will be used. In case the decision should be to switch back defaults,
I'd personally go back to the state it was in before (which position should
kde5 take otherwise?). kde5 could still be used by setting the environment
variable.
