Yeah, that sounds like a good idea. I guess this will allow us to close a number of bugs in both packages. > I wouldn't be opposed to demoting kaffeine if it's the last package that keeps > xine-lib in main.

Shall we now proceed with demoting both kaffeine and xine-lib, or did I overlook some important detail?
