That seems like a disappointing resolution to this bug. What is the feasibility of the following possible solutions:

1) enable --with-mp4v2 in debian/rules even though libmp4v2-0 won't be installed on an install with only main. Would trying to tag mp4 files cause a crash or just not work correctly (already the case)

2) create an amarok-full (or similar name) package in universe/multiverse that _is_ compiled with all the license-restricted plugins that aren't included in the main repo's compilation of Amarok. amarok-full could then be installed over amarok and still have added functionality with all those plugins.

Hopefully we can work around these license issues with the availability of the universe/multiverse repos, created for just such problems!
