I complained about that in the past I think, the PHonon tarball has
multiple top-level directories, which is not best practises for a
release tarball of a project. This also breaks Debian's
multiple-upstream-tarballs handling, so I have to repack the PHonon
tarball manually for each release.

It might work for the automatic plugin download and build, but it is not
really a great way to package it in my opinion.
