Good. I think that the problem is that python-kde4 is currently broken in
testing, which would be solved soon.

This is upgrading from 4.8.4 to 4.10.5?

We would need to fix that for jessie.

Could you open another bug about this?

We could use also some minimal configuration ~/.kde before and after the
upgrade.

You could drop js files in /usr/share/kde4/apps/plasma-desktop/updates/
which is documented here:

Or use /etc/skel for simple config file.
