There pre-ready packages of these packages in the git trees of the
pkg-multimedia team, but we are trying to make them both unused (by
licensing reasons) by substituting with freeer alternatives. This is a
work in progress.

Thanks. I have committed your comments in [our git tree][0].

Yes, I know that. HandBrake's build system is kind of crazy in that it
pulls its dependencies from their site and *patches* those packages in
customized ways.
We are working on that so that it can be readily compiled with the
versions of packages that we have in Debian.

If I recall correctly, the use of ccache violates the policy, but I am
keeping it there because I'm compiling and recompiling things over and
over here. The version of the package that will be uploaded to the
repository (when it happens) will be cleaned up, without those
extraneous things.

Thanks for all the comments. They have been very constructive.
