I took a look and the situation did improve license-wise, but Kodi ships
addons/webinterface.default/js/kodi-webinterface.js which is a
minimized version of
https://github.com/xbmc/chorus2 . It needs to be packages separately,
see, the linked RFP bug.
When Chorus2 is shipped in Debian properly rebuilding it from source
then the kodi package can switch to using it.
Cheers,
Balint
