Bug#597119: unblock: libffado/2.0.1+svn1856-2

[Adrian Knoth <adi@drcomp.erfurt.thur.de>]

Package: release.debian.org
Severity: normal
User: release.debian.org@packages.debian.org
Usertags: freeze-exception

Please unblock package libffado

>From the changelog:

  * Compile with -fPIC.
  * Refactor common python code into ffado-python-support
    (Closes: #594568) (LP: #524702 #624514)

The bug has severity important, I've hence refactored the files in question
into its own package. There are no dependencies other than these ffado-internal
onces, so if the package in the NEW queue is correct, it shouldn't do any harm
to non-ffado packages.



The -fPIC issue is also worth fixing. At least it's a lintian error, and we
clearly don't want non-relocatable code in shared libraries.

As you can see from the diff (<http://git.debian.org/?p=pkg-
multimedia/ffado.git>), all changes are strictly limited to its very purpose.

I hence ask to let this package to transition to Squeeze.
