Bug#549626: Some input about the new libvdpau
Been reading through the bug log since my last message. Here's some input I
have.
About putting libvdpau into ia32-libs or some similar package. This could be
done if you coordinate with the proper team (Debian ia32-libs Team <pkg-ia32-
libs-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian.org>). I imagine you just file a wishlist
bug against ia32-libs.
About whether the package should be arch any or arch all, libvdpau is
architecture *dependent*, so it should be arch *any*.
Also, yes there was a mistake with forgetting to have the dev package depend
on the library. This is the proper way to fix that issue:

Yes, this is acceptable.
Just so you know, the libtool libraries (.la files) are never placed in Debian
packages, but there's no need to change any of the upstream code for that.
