Building this has been a challenge. Both pbuilder and sbuild fail on the libphonon-dev build-dep, e.g.:

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 sbuild-build-depends-pyside-dummy : Depends: libphonon-dev but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
apt-get failed.
Package installation failed
Not removing build depends: cloned chroot in use

However, if I use the aptitude resolver, I can get sbuild to continue past this problem. Perhaps that's a bug with libphonon-dev, but atm I'm not shaving that particular yak. `sbuild --build-dep-resolver=aptitude` for now to see if the originally posted ftbfs can be confirmed.
