Bug#295006: debian-policy: Virtual package: change mp3-encoder with music-encoder



Package: debian-policy
Version: 3.6.1.1
Severity: wishlist

Having no mp3 encoder in the archive, due to possible patent problems, i
believe it would be a wiser idea to have "music-encoder" as a virtual package
than "mp3-encoder".

Tools that have a Depends: entry on mp3-encoder are:

ecasound

Tools like abcde, grip, jack,... would benefit when having a simple dependency
instead of listing all the possible music encoders out there: flac,
vorbis-tools, lame, bladeenc, speex, yet-to-come musepack, ...

Kill every human on the planet?  Sounds like a good idea! But first, we
should concentrate on more immediate goals.
