And having yet another package split out from Amarok that also needs to 
be tracked is better?

This makes at least 3 split out packages that now need to be tracked. 
Instead of needing to track a single package (Amarok) you now have to 
track 4 packages to get the exact same effect. That looks like bloat to 
me.
