And sadly, my initial tests don't show that the missing io-slave module is the reason kmail cannot send email. I've yet to reboot though (only sure way I found to restart the KDE environment).

How come Linux distributions can provide binary packages for kdepim?

Would it be feasible to isolate the io-slave submodule and distribute it separately? If not, there's always the solution to provide a kdepim variant like ffmpeg+gpl2+nonfree which can only be installed from source?
