discussion from IRC with upstream:

"...
<doctau_> it would also need the code to force a full-db canonicalisation pass, so users don't get duplicates appearing in their library
<seb128> hum
...
<seb128> k, so not something for dapper
<seb128> thank you :)
<doctau_> the code is fairly simple, but db versioning is a problem
<doctau_> that's the change for db version 1.1->1.2, and iirc 0.9.3 was 1.0
<doctau_> so unless you had the 1.0->1.1 change as well, it will break if the user later upgrades :(
<seb128> right
<seb128> that's why I didn't backport it, the CVS change has the db version change
...
<doctau_> seb128: there isn't really a way to do it that is easy, won't break upgrades, and doesn't cause duplicate track listings
<doctau_> so saying "won't fix in dapper" is probably the best option""
