It always needs to upgrade or create the database, but it doesn't need
to fill it with data. If the database changes are big in 7.3 (or
probably 8.0) it will probably result in that the database is upgraded
and also cleared. However this is still better than also performing the
rescan automatically, the reason is that for advanced users it doesn't
make sense to spend time filling the database until you have configured
all the parameters that specifies how the database should be filled.

The default should be that it creates/upgrade the database and also
runs a rescan, this will work good for normal users. For advanced users
already familiar with SqueezeCenter it should be possible to select to
only create/upgrade the database but not perform the rescan.

If we want something to happen related to this, it's a good idea that
someone writes an enhancement request at http://bugs.slimdevices.com
(unless there already is one registered)
