Well, that's kinda disruptive; amarok was already involved in the libgpod
transition, and now another library transition comes along while that's
still in process.  It would have been nice if, like the libgpod maintainer,
you had talked to the release team /before/ uploading.

Does your request to the maintainers to build/test against libmtp7 mean that
no build-testing of reverse-build-depends was done while libmtp7 was in
experimental?
