In any case I'm unsure as to why xvidcap - #289168 (or mplayer or rte - #112699 for that matter) have not been processed after several months in the NEW queue. Either: - ftp-masters are not happy about having ffmpeg source code in Debian. This seems the most probable cause. But the funny thing is that avifile already _does_ include the same ffmpeg source code as xvidcap does (see 227408) (and the later does not even compile it, whileas avifile does) and there _is_ already a ffmpeg package in Debian (#199266). So ? - the packages fail to comply some of the issues you point out in your mail. Either case they should be REJECTED with a proper reasoning as to why they have been rejected. If they cannot be packaged they should be included to http://www.debian.org/devel/wnpp/unable-to-package Regards Javier
