Telegram uses u1db; and on devel-proposed, reopening the app after first 
account creation is completely busted. I'm not sure it's related, but worth 
a look for your test plan.

That said, Telegram shouldn't require a rebuild, it just needs to work on 
rtm and vivid (according to the framework), as long as only ud1b needs 
rebuilding it should be fine.
