Bug#1007698: ITP: kasts -- kasts is a podcast client for desktop and mobile

[Marco Mattiolo <marco.mattiolo@hotmail.it>]

Hi Salvo,

that's great news that you're back working on this package!

You've probably already found out by yourself the complete list of 
Build-Deps and runtime dependencies for Kasts: to stay on the safe side, 
please check this discussion with upstream developer [1].

TL,DR:

- VLC backend should be preferred, which needs libvlccore-dev as Build-Dep

- vlc-plugin-base and qml-module-qt-labs-settings are needed as runtime 
dependencies

- Kirigami is needed to be at least 5.105.0 (Debian testing/sid are 
already fine with that)

Kind regards

Marco
