Debian is not frozen, only Jessie is. Don't stop brush your teeth at night, and don't stop report bugs whenever you find them! Release team may tag bugs as "jessie-ignore" to have them "slip under the radar" of the release process - but that is for them to judge, not each individual bugreporter. > As I understand it, the fix would be to add a Provides to > libavcodec-extra-56 and add Conflicts to affected GPL v2 programs. > > If that can be done for jessie as well, all the better. If you know of actual bugs that exist today, then please file bugreports about them, independent on how the bugs might or might not be fixed. >>> If you are interested in fixing license issues, feel free to take >>> care of removing the non-distributable image tests/lena.pnm [1] from >>> the libav source package. >> >>> 1: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Lenna.png#Licensing >> >> Thanks for bringing that to my attention.

Expect bugreports to *always* be appreciated (if done in good faith)! I understand your fear, and we are all just human - package maintainers may react emotionally rather than rationally on bugs. That's not your fault as bugreporter, so try to simple ignore shitstorms triggered by sensible bugs being reported.
