From a technical POV the package in NEW is just as fine as the one currently in the archive. I'd say it's misunderstanding and lack of communication combined with ignorance that led to the current state... -- Dipl.-Phys.

Is the current status summarized somewhere in a bugreport or wiki page (not just scattered across multiple bugreports, as your earlier post might imply)? - Jonas -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private signature.asc Description: Digital signature ___ pkg-multimedia-maintainers mailing list pkg-multimedia-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-multimedia-maintainers

Reinhard has already taken the burden to summarize the issue in #522373. Thanks for the info. Indeed that looks like a good summarizing bugreport! With absolutely zero response from ftpmaster - that's annoying.
