Build in /usr/src with options -DDBUS_INTERFACES_INSTALL_DIR=/home/user

But your tip did gave me a solution:
only the org.freedesktop.MediaPlayer.root.xml and other .xml files did
got into the /home/user directory (I expected all to be in home after
make install, instead it was installed in the usual system places and
overwriting the debian package amarok...).
Chmod the *.xml in home and amarok runs from menu.

So, slow progress and a somewhat usefull music player on buster.
Lets for a miracle and someone does the other missing stuff.
