Well if KWin depends on Breeze you cannot parallel build KWin and Breeze. That 
should be obvious.

The reason for the added dependency is that distributions complained about 
Plasma not properly specifying the dependencies it has. Thus I introduced them 
in a way that it doesn't require manual effort to keep them up to date. If I 
have to switch to minimum version it's starting to get manual effort with the 
risk of weird errors we have not expected yet.

It does not make sense to have KWin depend on a Breeze of the previous 
version. Neither plasma-integration. Thus I even think that from a technical 
point of view that would be wrong.
