Any package distributed through Debian is not suppose to use embedded
libav libraries. This seemed like an unwritten rule, and people in
debian-devel had this understanding as well. Now that it seems libav
gets at least 10 security fixes every point release, I believe this
merits adding checks for the libav libraries to the
'embedded-libraries' lintian check. Note having embedded libraries is
an error.
The following patch does this. I tested with mplayer2 (which passes)
and the mythtv package in Ubuntu (which fails all of the new tests).
Any feedback before I submit this to lintian?
Excellent idea. AFAIUI, this instructs lintian to check for certain
strings in the binaries, which seems to be the right approach for
this. The chosen strings make sense to me after short cross checking
with the source.
Thanks for implementing this.
