Hi,
Just to let you know that the upstream tarball
(jabbin_2.0beta2.orig.tar.gz)
contains non-free bits, that is 3party/iLBC/* [1], thus you should repackage
it as dfsg tarball with these bits removed. I don't know how vital that is
for the jabbin application, but you can give it a try, considering the
possible impacts. Also talk to upstream to consider remove it from their
next
version too. This seems to be a common problem for almost all voip apps
around, and you might find more specialized help by pkg-voip people [2] if
you need to.
