phonon-backend-vlc isn't the only package affected; CCing the 
maintainers - what's the plan here?

# Broken Depends:

I must admit to not being overjoyed at such changes being made in an 
urgency=high upload, with changelog entries such as

    * New major upstream release. (Closes: #436339, #632965, #642187,
      #698023, #593735, #724734, #665732, #700752, #704941, #708953,
      #712935, #398167, #646200, #679654, #654955, LP: #982953, #301193,
      #986785, #1038303, #1109026, #530797, #667584, #938621, #671031,
      #1080847, #1157384, #1173943)

Unless every single one of those bugs is requesting an upload of the 
new version, that changelog stanza is broken imho; it should refer to 
the actual changes made.
