Binary package hint: sound-juicer

The Sound Juicer package in Karmic is built against the package libmusicbrainz4 instead of libmusicbrainz3. This is bad since the package libmusicbrainz4 includes the deprecated version 2.1.5 of libmusicbrainz, while the package libmusicbrainz3 includes the current version 3.0.2 (could somebody explain to me why the older package is called libmusicbrainz4?)

This should be changed. libmusicbrainz version 2.x uses the old, deprecated, RDF based MusicBrainz web service, while version 3.x uses the newer XML based REST web service. This is especially bad since the RDF web service will be removed with the next MusicBrainz server update, which will happen this year.

FYI: The package in Jaunty used the newer web service.
