For kopete, installing libsoprano-dev is enough to build successfully.
I think this means kdelibs5-dev should depend on libsoprano-dev (and the
-dev packages for any other libraries that it indirectly requires
in the same way).
Adding Build-Depends: libsoprano-dev to kopete seems to be a viable
workaround that would prevent this bug from stalling the libmsn
sub-transition within the libstdc++ transition, and potentially
lower its severity to non-RC. I might NMU kopete with that change if
it becomes necessary.
