They're only painful to a few people.

The different size is probably because they didn't strip the binaries.
This happens automatically on SUSE >= 9.3 when you build a -debuginfo
package (where debugging symbols are stripped out and stored into the
- -debuginfo package, where the stripping out means a significant
downsizing of the package).

That could be problematic, indeed.
YaST2 must have detected the conflicting files too and just silently
"upgraded" mad to libmad -- or was it the opposite ?

For the amarok package, it would be pretty much the same as it doesn't
explicitly require the "mad" package but instead requires "libmad.so.X"

My amarok builds are an exception because they explicitly require the
package "mad" -- although it is bad practice, I chose to do so in this
case because it makes it easier to just install my amarok RPMs and
everything that's needed for complete codec support is pulled from my
repository and from Packman.
