This leads me to ask... since VLC in the Factory repo is so severely crippled that it appears to be completely unusable, why is anyone even bothering to put it in there? I understand (and hate) the whole argument around codecs etc... that's not what I am asking here... If the player cannot be used for the vast majority of the videos is it worth the time and effort of including it in Factory?
I guess it's the same reason openSUSE had libxine. You need it to build e.g. phonon-backend-vlc and it should work for e.g. KDE's ogg system notifications.
I fully agree with Sven. Crippled codec packages are okay as internal build dependencies, but should not ship. (At least not, with a name identical to the original.)
That would help Numptys like me who are testing Factory and Unstable all the time... :-) Is it possible to name it differently? or mark it so it's not published into the repo?
