Although not actively developed, this package providing GTK-like styles
(Adwaita, Adwaita-Dark and some high-contrast styles) is useful to make
GTK and Qt5 applications match in appearance, particularly when not
using a DE like Gnome/KDE. 

Is there a reason to suspect that it will cease to work correctly or
will introduce security concerns, otherwise could it perhaps be
retained?

It as also possible to provide the same styles to Qt6
applications by passing the -DUSE_QT6 option to CMake, a one-line
patch to CMakeLists.txt. This is done by some Linux distributions for
example, with subpackages like adwaita-qt5 and adwaita-qt6.

I have tried to create such a multipackage but without success, due to
inexperience, so I made a test port 'adwaita-qt6' instead, which is
obviously not a clean way to do it. But I can confirm it does work with
qt6ct and qt6 applications.
