Yeah, on reflection, I think this makes sense. IMO the lib policy is
generally very good and useful, particularly on 64 vs 32 bit systems,
but I cannot install both amarok in 32 and 64 bit flavours anyway, so
there is no advantage in this regard to splitting it's libs.
That said, it makes the lib policy that bit vaguer and harder to
understand... but it does also help keep orphaned files down.
