I misunderstood the original problem as related to upgrading. A bad depends wouldn't show up there, but would affect actually running the program. I tried running kpackage and got the message that it couldn't find 4.0.3, which confirms that there is a problem. The best way to report it is to file a bug report. Indeed, bug #157280 has already been filed regarding this problem.
