You don't have to get in depth and derail the whole movie, but at least establish some sort of relationship between Qui-Gon, Dooku and the Council.
What if, for instance, Qui-Gon was talking to Dooku on his little Jedi communicator about the "vergence" he has encountered? Dooku might advise him to bring him before the council.
And I'd love, love, love to construct a scene for the end between Dooku, Yoda and Mace where Dooku expresses his anger at the Council about what has happened to Qui-Gon and vows to track down the Sith master behind all of this. I just think this would lead us into the situation in Episode II rather nicely.

I get it now. That's really ambitious. I'd like it all to fit in the movie as if that were the end of things -- kind of like Vader escaping in ANH. Vader escapes, but there's no indication of where he's going or what revenge he will plan. There never needed to be a sequel -- but the sequel was so good that you're glad there is one. That would be the ideal relationship between Episode I and Episode II -- Ep I should feel complete until you see Ep II and realize how much there is left to explore.
If we believe Dukoo will find and deal with the Sith and that he's good enough to not need any help, that would be frickin' perfect. Like "now the big dogs are on it." The Council has awakened.
That's a great end to shoot for. I get it now.
