Bug#666765: lintian: Add libav libraries to embedded-library check
Package: lintian
Version: 2.5.6
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch
Embedded libav libraries should be checked for in the 'embedded-library' check.
Reasons for this are as follow.
* libav is a heavily used multimedia library. Many multimedia related packages
(apps, frameworks, etc.) use libav in one form or another.
* libav sees at least 10 security related fixes each point release.
* In Debian, it was already expected that no package should use an embedded
copy of any of the libav libraries.
Attached is a patch that will add the libav libraries into the
'embedded-libraries' lintian check.

Subject: [PATCH] Add check for embedded libav/ffmpeg libraries. It seems that
libav/ffmpeg gets at least 10 security fixes every point
release. A point release seems to be made once every 2
months. Given this, embedding the libav/ffmpeg libs in an
app should now be an error.
