[arch-dev-public] KDE kdebase-runtime 4.9 dependency changes

Noticed this when upgrading yesterday. Suddenly got a lot more junk
installed on my system because of the new dep of kdebase-runtime on
kdepimlibs.

Is this dependency really necessary? Can it not be optional with the
KDE programs that actually require it pull it in explicitly? I'd
prefer to not have MySQL on my system, in addition to the numerous
other programs that got pulled. Anything from my log that is listed as
"installed" was obviously not there before:
