Why do you rename an ITP to RFS? Please file a separate bug.

Wouldn't it be easier to start directly from Ubuntu packages instead of
outdated Knoppix ones?

I'm afraid it doesn't even build in unstable, for a number of reasons.
Some of these look as if you ever tried to compile it only within some old
environment.
A few random other things I noticed:
* please build-depend on libjpeg-dev rather than libjpeg8-dev, while the
latter exists in unstable we really don't want anything to depend on
it in stretch
* please build-depend on libpng-dev first (or solely)
* all those transitional packages are pointless as those from oldoldstable
compiz can't possibly be installed on a system ever upgraded to jessie
I didn't look any closer.
Meow!
