Re: Bug#732159: Should this package be removed?
I've added debian-devel for further input, as I believe the
consequences are a bit wider than expected.

I tend to agree, however please keep in mind that this also removes
mencoder, for which no drop-in alternatives exist atm: Currently, two
packages depend on mencoder, toonloop and photofilmstrip:
Alexandre Quessy <alexandre@quessy.net>
toonloop (U)
Debian Multimedia Maintainers
<pkg-multimedia-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian.org>
toonloop
Gürkan Sengün <gurkan@phys.ethz.ch>
photofilmstrip
Jens Göpfert <jens@sg-dev.de>
photofilmstrip (U)
Jonas Smedegaard <dr@jones.dk>
toonloop (U)
Philipp Huebner <debalance@debian.org>
photofilmstrip (U)
If there is general consent that those packages are OK to remove as
well, then so be it.
Best regards,
Reinhard
