I never uploaded scribus to backports, so in buster only 1.4.8 is
available.

Furthermore, scribus 1.5.6 requires Qt 5.12, whereas in buster there is
only Qt 5.11, which makes impossible to build it.

No, that means that I uploaded only the source, instead of the binaries.
the binaries are then built automatically.  but that's uploaded "into
unstable", not to buster or buster-backports.


Overall, if you need 1.5.6 I can suggest you either upgrade your system
to Debian Testing (Bullseye - which is going to become stable next year,
I guess by Summer should be released), or use some other method like
appimage, snap, etc.
