I did not checked whether xbmc would be compliant to Debian Multimedia
policy. My statement was written under the assumption that the package
is following usual Debian standards which for sure contains the upstream
source. If this is not the case what about asking Bálint to follow
the Debian Multimedia policy when packaging xbmc and adopt the result
of this. (In case I'm repeating something which was discussed before
a link to this discussion.)
Kind regards
Andreas.
