Thanks for the note.
I'll update extragear/utils/kdesrc-build/kf5-qt5-build-include

CMake Warning at cmake/FindPhonon.cmake:9 (find_package):
  Could not find a package configuration file provided by "Phonon" with any
  of the following names:

    PhononConfig.cmake
    phonon-config.cmake

  Add the installation prefix of "Phonon" to CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH or set
  "Phonon_DIR" to a directory containing one of the above files.  If "Phonon"
  provides a separate development package or SDK, be sure it has been
  installed.
