Most distros I know have been shipping the snapshots of phonon for the
last couple releases.

Because Phonon from Qt is not the same as Phonon from KDE, there is
significant version confusion anyway and most if not all distro
maintainers are aware of this disparity for the phonon package.

It's not really something I can personally fix, but it's certainly been
the solution we've used and it works very well and I'm just trying to
share that experience.
