For me, the build-depends on cmake and libphonon-dev are not necessary
because there is already a build-depends on kdelibs5-dev (which provide
this 2 build-depends). 

Just to make a clarification, if you do theses modifications on Debian
(official repository), this will affect only current development release
( Debian unstable, Debian testing and Ubuntu karmic). This doesn't
change the package for previous release (Hardy for example). If you want
to support more releases in your own repositories, and your own .deb,
you should stay like this to support more release. But for official
Debian repository, this 2 build-depends are not necessary.

I hope my explanation is enough clear, feel free to ask me more details
if you want :)

Regards,
Julien Lavergne
