Yeah, the NM_0_7 define is present in kde-runtime.

kde-runtime is no longer being maintained by kde.org, the repository is still
available, but that's it, so the patch won't be applied upstream. On the Debian
side, we don't really know if somebody uses the networkstatus kded module, a
quick search in codesearch showed no results, but the idea is to drop
kde-runtime (and qt4 for that matter) for buster, so disabling an optional
feature should be fine.

Anyway, you might want to forward this patch or the one that drops the use of
network manager from kdelibs4support to the codereview system:
https://phabricator.kde.org

Upstream usually has a lower latency when a code review is requested.

Happy hacking,
