I did that in 0.5.0d-2, because the previous debhelper compatibility version 
(4) had become deprecated. However, setting this to 6 is still allowed, so I 
did that in SVN.

There is another issue, which may be harder to fix, though: I dropped the cmake 
and libphonon-dev build-depends (see http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-
bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=531086). I believe they are probably still required on 
hardy, though, as kdelibs5-dev there fails to depend on them(?). So to build 
the .deb on hardy, you'd have to install those manually. Do you see a solution 
for that?

BTW, is there a semi-official source for KDE 4.1 or 4.2 on hardy? Those 
packaging issues really aren't the only problems with KDE 4.0.x, so perhaps, 
instead of trying to work around them, we should recommend to upgrade the kde4 
packages? What do you think?
