I did take a look but unfortunately, it tried to download stuff on the
buildds, which is not acceptable for the buildds. I'm using past
tense, because I fixed that in the branch. Test packages can be
downloaded from my private repository:
http://wiki.tauware.de/~siretart/archive/
deb http://wiki.tauware.de/~siretart/archive/ squeeze-backports main
deb-src http://wiki.tauware.de/~siretart/archive/ squeeze-backports main
Unofrtunately, I had to disable schroedinger support, which probably
means that dirac support is missing. Because of lack of dirac samples,
I didn't test that. Nevertheless, the vlc backport seems to work for
me in a chroot, but feedback is welcome, espc. if someone has
reservations about uploading it to squeeze-backports proper.
