[Bug 217441] Re: Recommends/Depends on kdebase-kio-plugins for iPod autodetection

[Harald Sitter]

You can still manually configure the devices. Which makes kdebase-kio-
plugins the perfect use case for recommends - it enhances the
application's functionality but if the package it is missing the
application is working just fine as well.

But to give a more understandable reason for not having kio-plugins a
dependency of Amarok: it pulls in a lot of kdebase packages/applications
which are totally unnecessary when you are using gnome (kdesktop, the
desktop shell, as a prominent example).

Therefore Jonathan's patch is more accurate.
