I'll drop the kde-config-phonon-xine package and remove libxine1-dev from kde-runtime build-deps since we don't support the phonon xine backend anymore. I wouldn't be opposed to demoting kaffeine if it's the last package that keeps xine-lib in main. We only ship kaffeine on the Kubuntu dvd and most users probably install vlc anyway.
