Thank you for your answer. I read the FindLIBVLC file and found three checks.

The one for the header file:
    # find / -iname vlc.h
    /usr/include/vlc/vlc.h

The one for libvlc:
    # find / -iname libvlc.*
    /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libvlc.so.5.6.0
    /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libvlc.so
    /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libvlc.so.5

And the one for libvlccore:
    # find / -iname libvlccore.*
    /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libvlccore.so.9
    /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libvlccore.so.9.0.0

These looked fine to my untrained eyes at first but the missing libvlccore.so 
(without the version number) made me think so I looked it up and indeed, the 
package libvlccore-dev was missing.

After installing it, phonon-vlc built fine.

Thanks for the pointer. :)

Cheers
Frederik
