Package: gimp-gap
Version: 2.6.0-1
Severity: serious
Justification: Policy 4.13

Hi,

gimp-gap contains a convenience copy of ffmpeg, which it should not (Policy 4.13 bellow). In addition, ffmpeg poses serious legal problems, best let them in a single package.

Please remove the offending code from the source tarball.

Regards, Thibaut.

Policy v. 3.8.2.0: 4.13 Convenience copies of code
"Some software packages include in their distribution convenience copies of code from other software packages, generally so that users compiling from source don't have to download multiple packages. Debian packages should not make use of these convenience copies unless the included package is explicitly intended to be used in this way. If the included code is already in the Debian archive in the form of a library, the Debian packaging should ensure that binary packages reference the libraries already in Debian and the convenience copy is not used. If the included code is not already in Debian, it should be packaged separately as a prerequisite if possible."
