For info, I completed a full rebuild on Jessie. The packages FTBFS are:
- pytdeextensions, kvirc, due to libtool
- digikam, koffice, due to liblcms1-dev (bug 2152)
- tde-guidance, caused by the missing pytdeextensions
- bibletime, tdeio-sword: failed at "configure" time when compiling. May be caused by libtool but haven't checked in detail
- knetworkmanger8, a long time FTBFS package.

Not strictly necessary to fix them for RC1, but it wouldn't hurt if we can do that
Cheers
