[Sebastian Ramacher <sramacher@debian.org>]

Control: severity -1 normal
Control: reassign -1 pipewire 0.3.51-1
Control: retitle -1 pipewire: should pipewire depend/recommend libspa-0.2-bluetooth?

vlc doesn't. vlc is a meta package. There is a question to the pipewire
maintainers whether pipewire should depend or recommend
libspa-0.2-bluetooth to have a smoother transition from pulseaudio to
pipewire. Hence, reassigning there.

In any case, this bug hardly qualifies as grave.
