This is a followup of bug 214588. I'm leaving it in bug-wranglers, instead of assigning directly to the maintainer, as a moderator is needed. It seems that to prove my point, I need to contact audacious author directly and paste an email from him. As I already mentioned there, according to - configure.ac - author's forum post - mercurial commit log audacious-plugins has not depended on musicbrainz for years. The var in the Makefile seems to be a leftover from the time it did, that was not removed when the configure.ac was fixed. As the authors are now busy with writing 2.0, I doubt they would be willing to fix anything that not broken - a var, that's not assigned by configure, will be eval'd to ''. So, that MUSICBRAINZ_LIBS is still in the Makefile does *NOT* hurt, it's just another empty string. Even, if it needed a dep on musicbrainz (which it DOES NOT), it still should be a slotted dep, as musicbrainz is.
