Package: libvlfeat-dev Version: 0.9.20+dfsg0-1 Severity: minor Hi there,
I was hoping to use the SIFT feature from libvlfeat so I installed the libvlfeat-dev package which explicitly mentions SIFT in its description. However, it seems that the SIFT implementation has been removed from the package for licensing reasons; it's under a patent <https://lists.debian.org/debian-science/2013/11/msg00033.html>. I'd like to request that the package description reflect this situation. I suppose this should apply to all the packages which share this description (libvlfeat1, libvlfeat-dev, libvlfeat-doc).
