I tried to link one of the plasma-framework apps to kde4support, and it gave 
an error about not finding it.
(I ported the code away from kde4support instead, which is why we're not 
hitting this issue yet).

More details:

Even though 
find_package(kde4support REQUIRED NO_MODULE)
is in the toplevel CMakeLists.txt and finds it, this patch:

diff --git a/src/plasmapkg/CMakeLists.txt b/src/plasmapkg/CMakeLists.txt
index d2f2427..919dd64 100644

 message("INSTALL_TARGETS_DEFAULT_ARGS ${INSTALL_TARGETS_DEFAULT_ARGS}")

... gives the error ....

ld: cannot find -lkde4support
