Then the dependency needs to be 'kdevelop' if kdevplatform > 5.1 is required,
because at least in recent opensuse distro there is no kdevelop-devel or
kdevelop-kdevplatform-devel package (see
https://build.opensuse.org/package/view_file/openSUSE:Leap:42.3/kdevelop5/kdevelop5.spec?expand=1)
It would be easier to have a dedicated kdevelop-kdevplatform-devel, but this
seems to be a distribution issue.

I guess this could be solved by installing related files into a version
specific private folder similar to what Qt5 does. Those files are only valid
for the given version and may be different on other versions.

At a first look the header files from the build dir will fall into this
category and should be installed into <include-dir>/kdev-php/private/x.y/ while
the files from the source dir could got into <include-dir>/kdev-php ?

cmake build system then needs to add this include path
<include-dir>/kdev-php/private/x.y to the generated target interfaces in the
cmake find package config files.

I added the recent kdev-php maintainer to this bug, but did not get any answer.
May be I should add Milian too ?
