[PyKDE] Building latest of everything in Debian

The most "natural" way to use qmake ends up creating make files 
that require root privileges. It may also have something to do 
with PyQt and sip being buildable on Linux, Windows and OSX. 
PyQt breaking should have nothing to do wcd qt && /usr/bin/make
