Well, qtscriptgenerator is a pretty hard dependency I guess. However, next 
time I would suggest changing attitude from "force 3rd party dependency 
because we think it absolutely must be part of a standard package" to "make as 
many 3rd party dependencies optional as possible", even if it means a bit more 
work initially. Packagers are going to bundle Amarok with as much features as 
possible anyway (you don't need to force them) and trunk users can still build 
amarok without exotic stuff.

Do another pre-prelease (either beta2 or RC, depends on how confident you are 
in amarok state at the moment) this week. Beta 1 is already too old for new 
packaging today.
