This is not entirely true, Myriam. The definitions are part of kdelibs and we 
claim to support kdelibs 4.6, so we in fact released a partially broken 
tarball.

The thing is that handbook translations were AFAIK added only to the final 
tarball (not the beta) and as Bart said, no Amarok developer uses obsolete 
kdelibs, so it slipped through.

Modestas, you warned us about this problem, thank you for that, we would 
normally re-spin the tarball, but Amarok 2.5 was already very delayed and we 
wanted to make it before Christmas, so we decided to release a tarball that is 
broken is some special cases, with patches (thanks to you) available in the 
amarok mailing list.

I hope this little explanation helps not to discourage you from packaging 
Amarok for Debian.
