You?re not even looking at the right package, and no:

Package: ampache-common
Source: ampache
Version: 3.6-rzb2752+dfsg-6
[?]
Depends: fonts-freefont-ttf (<< 20120503.0~), fonts-freefont-ttf (>=
20120503), libjs-prototype (<< 1.7.1.0~), libjs-prototype (>= 1.7.1),
libphp-phpmailer (<< 5.2.10+dfsg.0~), libphp-phpmailer (>= 5.2.10+dfsg),
libphp-snoopy (<< 2.0.0.0~), libphp-snoopy (>= 2.0.0), php-getid3 (<<
1.9.9+dfsg.0~), php-getid3 (>= 1.9.9+dfsg), php-gettext (<< 1.0.11.0~),
php-gettext (>= 1.0.11)

The next transition of any of these dependencies will be blocked by this
unmaintained and out of date ampache package. Keeping it in the archive as
is is considered harmful.

David
