Well, this is not a bug, but rather a feature of the Debian libtool.
Sorry I haven't seen the problem because this feature is not yet enabled
on kfreebsd-i386 (there is a bug report against libtool to enable it),
but I am able to reproduce your problems on Debian GNU/Linux.
In short this feature only links the binary with the libraries given in
argument, whereas the official libtool also links the binary with all
libraries need by the libraries given in argument. In your case,
libkparts is pulling libqt-mt, libkdecore and libkdeui.
This is to reduce the number of dependencies of a package. Theoretically
it should be possible to write a KDE apps that does not need to be
linked to libqt-mt at build time, but that will use libqt-mt at runtime.
See the latest mail of Steve Langasek on debian-devel-announce for more
information.
Also for kdesvn, please find attached a patch to fix the problem you
found. It explicitly link the binary with libqt-mt, kdecore and kdeui.
When build try to compare the dependencies before and after the
relibtoolization, you will see that there are far less dependencies, and
that will help the future transitions.
Thanks,
Aurelien
