I'm aware that the maintainer of opusfile does not usually want to make
packaging changes without specific reasons, so I've opened #935590 to
represent the missing multiarch support and sent a more minimal patch
there, based on the earlier patch sent to #899138.

I've opened a separate wishlist bug report #935591 for this.

If the maintainer would be willing to consider some subset of these
changes, or even all of them, I'd be happy to help with reviewing them,
and if necessary breaking them up into separate changes with specific
justifications for why they are desirable.

Bug#923031: opusfile: updated package (new upstream, multiarch-capable, etc.)

[Jan Nordholz]

Source: opusfile
Version: 0.9+20170913-1
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

Hi,

as libopusfile0 has now become a dependency of libsdl2-mixer-2.0-0, its
missing multiarch support is hitting more people. I've prepared a tentative
new version[1] that tries to address as many open issues as possible (besides
enabling multiarch):
  - new upstream
  - recent debhelper level
  - automatic -dbgsym package
  - policy compliance
  - open bug reports
  - make lintian happy (this also meant removing the probably outdated
Vcs-* fields)

Feel free to adjust and upload either as-is or as your own, I don't mind.

Best regards

Jan
