It needs libksignalplotter, which had to be patched out from kdebase4-workspace
as one dependency of that lib depends on webkit (ksysguard's processui IIRC).
It might be possible to patch that a bit more fine-grained, but probably not
worth the work.

If you have already packaged it, you can submit it to the devel project
directly. An untested application is way better than no application :-)
