I forget what akonadi is (yeah, shame on me ;-) ) but IIRC you want it.

Ah, I think eigen is going away, but for 4.1 I think only eigen is 
wanted and eigen2 can be safely ignored for 4.1 (but best check with 
Benoît Jacob).

I think you can do without taglib if you don't care about the music 
library stuff (but really, if you want to build multimedia and/or 
amarok, you want taglib)

Same as the comment on akonadi.

These two are needed, yes, though I forget what all is using blitz. No 
sound w/o phonon :-).

Um, this is either not needed, or needed for tons of dbus stuff :-). But 
I think I was not building it for the longest time and getting by...

I don't see telepathy/tapioca/decibel; these do something for Kopete 
(though I don't know exactly what features they provide). And of course 
automoc is *crucial*, but maybe you aren't listing things you know are 
needed ;-).

That said, for stable it's probably best to use distro packages of all 
of the above, when possible.
