Bug#972897: libavformat58: provide libavformat-extra package now?

2020-10-25 Thread Fabian Greffrath
Package: libavformat58
Version: 7:4.3.1-4
Severity: wishlist

Hi there,

is there any reason why we don't yet provide an additional
libavformat-extra package which could contain support for the SMB
protocol? We already do so for libavcodec-extra and libavfilter-extra,
so I don't see any reason why we shouldn't add another -extra flavor
to provide for a popular feature. The next possible opportunity could
be the next SONAME bump in one of the libraries when we have to go
through the NEW queue anyway.

Thoughts?

Cheers,

 - Fabian
