Wow, what a mess.

For now I would certainly leave the songbird-svn. It has correct name
and it seems to be quite good PKGBUILD.

I'd prefer if the songbird-auto-nightly was renamed to the
songbird-nightly-bin and then removed.

I think songbird should be removed, because it's in fact the same as
songbird-svn. I don't see any reason to keep it because it seems that
they do not release any source tarballs. However it has just too much
votes to remove it.
