Comment 9 for bug 832864

<hat type="Debian-maintainer-of-pyside" on="head" />
Some data points:
a) if you want to sync from Debian, you need apiextractor, generatorrunner and shiboken
b) you don't need to run the full build to see if it will succeed, running one (of the 4) configure is enough.
c) I'm maintaining the same packages for PySide "upstream" on lucid+maverick+natty PPAs: https://launchpad.net/~pyside/+archive/ppa/+packages and they "always" work, so the issue is probably a change is Qt/phonon/whatever and not PySide (I guess).
