4. Quality assurance:
    * Package works OOTB.

    * Debian bugs: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?src=celt ; 
asking for 0.5, which Ubuntu has.
    * Maintenance in Debian looks to be dead.
    * Upstream is vigorous.
    * Can't find upstream bug tracker: https://trac.xiph.org/search?q=celt

enabled to run during the build.
