Decibel is mainly a Qt4 Core only daemon process. To work it needs to
integrate with the users desktop environment. Currently there is
a "simplistic" integration and a kde4 one (which should not differ too much
from the simplistic one in the version you are packaging). The kde4 one had a
build problem for a while, maybe that is the reason why it does FTBFS for
you?

Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions on decibel. I wrote
most of it:-)
