libgtk is a library and I bet you would still have another bunch of "useless" libraries installed even if amarok dropped GTK dep. However, it's true that libgtk AND its dependencies are rather huge and might seem suboptimal for such a thing as iPod covers (esp. if you don't the device). What's more, GDK should be in its own library package anyway, but not bundled with libgtk2.0-0. > Don't know if it's enough for you, or clear.

But dealing with frustrated users afterwards is not so much fun. However, if you are willing to write a patch which makes libgdk_pixbuf-2.0.so.0 usage optional, I will probably include it in packaging and/or push it upstream.
