Package: ffmpeg
Version: 0.cvs20070307-6
Severity: normal
I was surprised when mpeg2video encoder was removed, but as it's a patent issue
there's not much to be done. My query today has to do with the mpeg2video
decoder. Is it also patented, or is its disappearance a side effect of
removing the the encoder?

The reason for this is that the debian/strip.sh alone is not smart
enough for stripping the encoders. We also need to mangle the config.h
(see debian/fixup-config.sh) to fixup the listing pf '-formats'.
Thanks for reporting back.
