Alpha version of libtheora in unstable seem like a bad idea



Dear Sebastian,

I just discovered that the alpha version of libtheora,
1.2.0~alpha1+dfsg-5, was uploaded into unstable 2025-01-14.  This seem
like a bad idea, given that upstream currently describe it on
<URL: https://theora.org/downloads/ > as "our unstable releases toward
libtheora 1.2".

Last time I checked, the development of 1.2 libtheora had stopped
completely as everyone that used to be involved are now focusing on AV1,
and it seem unlikely at the moment that 1.2 will ever stabilise.

Do you know something about the 1.2 alpha release of libtheora that make
my understanding invalid and the idea to include version 1.2 in Debian
unstable, testing and the future stable a good one?
