i understand that this is how things currently work, but it isn't
necessarily optimal.  for example, if i decide to use the gstreamer
phonon backend instead of xine (not sure if this exists yet or how to
enable it, but when it is available, i will switch to it), i will no
longer need xine and will prefer to remove the packages because they
are unneeded.

and maybe this is a non-issue.  when the phonon gstreamer backend
becomes available, the kdebase-runtime dependency can just be changed
to "libxine1 | libgstreamer"... although it would be nice to be able
to use no audio and hence be able to remove all of the unneeded
sound/multimedia packages without losing all of kde.
