So from a packagers point of view, I would still have to use the
labs.qt version to build qt(-snapshot) and kde's for kde(-svn|4.2)
because the labs.qt version can't (for license reasons) contain the
phonon-xine, phonon-vlc or phonon-mplayer backends.

Would it not be better to host the canonical version @ git.kde.org?

GIT Is Terrific for developers but it could lead to even more of a
confusing mess for packagers and distros.
