Yeah, sqlalchemy being a leaf node is accidental. It's a library that
will be depended on by MediaGoblin and maybe other software.

I'm concerned about this. What exactly is being used here, a client
library? If so, it means that we may have an issue when a python
application uses a library that wants to dynamically link against both
the normal sqlite library and this older version. Maybe this is still
fine, but proceed with caution.
