Indeed, and with gnomemeeting we had a working alternative available
for PPC users; my concern is mostly that PPC users of gnomemeeting in
sarge will find the same features in etch, perhaps under a new name. [1]
(But I've noted that somebody confirmed PPC support to be working in
Ekiga with a different configuration; perhaps different codecs.)

I'm a bit disturbed about the non-RCness here; that's a major regression
for users relying on IPv6 (and I can certainly imagine the uses of IPv6
for peer-to-peer communication behind firewalls), plus ("pervasive")
IPv6 support is a release goal. I do not see any mention of IPv6 in
etch_rc_policy.txt, and the 20060717 release update clearly states that
release goals are not release blockers, yet I find it disturbing.
Grmpf.

I don't think this is reasonable either.
You've confirmed you do not to want the old gnomemeeting source, and I
see you already hinted the ekiga upload adding the transition package,
so I suppose the discussion and the fate of the IPv6 support are
probably sealed.
[1] Yes, I'm still packaging GNOME!
