Either way, we have the same issue with possible clashes between the Qt-
release of libphonon and the KDE-release of libphonon, right?

I think kdelibs just has to say "we need libphonon at least version x", but 
not care if it came with Qt or was built separately.

The issue is only if we want to depend on a version of libphonon that is more 
recent than the version shipped with the Qt version we depend on.  Then we're 
asking packagers to (a) build Qt without phonon support (b) build phonon 
separately and (c) in the future, probably do the same with QtWebkit.

That's how I understand the situation, anyway.
