Without upgrading whole dep chains, important updates such as libmtp updates
adding new hardware support would be impossible. These always come as
grouped updates with rebuilds of Amarok and a couple other things. But the
maintainers do try to coordinate to reduce the amount of grouped updates,
e.g. libmtp and other such libraries such as libnjb often get updated
together, and they frequently come together with some new version of Amarok
as well.
