I understand what you mean and makes sense to me. I'm aware that you have some 
automatic stuff to update symbols files, so yes, I agree it would be nice to get 
the KCI back on track.

So let's start pointing out the first and most important underlying problem 
right now: the CI is still using GCC 4 for wily (GCC 5 is the default since 
July 31).

I have checked the last kconfig build and...
-- The C compiler identification is GNU 4.9.2
-- The CXX compiler identification is GNU 4.9.2
I presume you have somewhere a chroot to build the packages which should be 
dist-upgrade'd in order to get the GCC 5, right?

Once you update the CI to use GCC 5 I will be very glad to help you with:
1. any possible issue that the symbols file updating in kubuntu_wily_archive 
could have caused and 
2. getting the kubuntu_unstable branches working fine with GCC 5; either by 
sending patches or pointing out underlying problems with the KCI symbol 
updating; this way when you upload frameworks 5.13, plasma 5.4 and apps 15.08 
to the archive you will get everything working properly with GCC 5 since the 
beginning.
