Anyone can add it from wherever he wants, or take a Debian package
and rebuild it according their needs. This is a lot easier when you can
just say apt-get source PACKAGE, without having to figure where else it
is (if it's not in an official debian repository).

Besides, someone can just use lives effects, then reencode the movie
into whatever format he wants at the end of all the editing.

There's no README.Debian.
