Bug#281955: kdepim: FTBFS uses too much space/time to build

Reading policy about static libs[1] says "The static library 
(libraryname.a) is usually in addition to the shared version", 
which doesn't sound like a requirement. More importantly, what 
real life use static kdepim libraries when there are no
static libs for the underlying libraries? 

In other news, kdepim not getting compiled is getting a showstopper
on our "kde 3.3 for sarge, please" quest.
