Hello all, Ubuntu just released a new version of vc (https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/ +source/vc/1.3.0-0ubuntu1). This could be reused by Debian. Aleksey, are you still working towards this RFS? If yes, you may take a look at this Ubuntu package. If not, please disown and close this bug (#849493). Still I think the name "vc" and "vc-dev" should be acceptable. Changing into other name will cause split between Debian and all Ubuntu derivatives. -- Thanks, Boyuan Yang
