That's hardly an improvement... mysql-embedded is huge too, in fact
really bigger because almost nothing else is going to bring it in.
So that's umpteen meg to download for no other purpose than amarok.

The nearby comments about plugins seem relevant here: ideally, the
packager of amarok shouldn't be forcing a particular choice of database
on users.
