Technically it is clearly possible, but we have been asked to bootstrap
the kfreebsd-* architectures again. So if I understand correctly, what
we should do is:
- build qt4 using phonon from debian-ports.org
- build phonon using the just built qt4
- rebuild qt4 using the just built phonon
Upload both resulting packages. But if the build-dependency loop is very
long and difficult to break, we may end-up doing what you suggest.
