Seconded. I felt that Moritz's last message (when it was the last
message) was fine - let's get it into unstable, and /prove/ that
security issues can be managed, by managing them. That will go a long
way towards building trust in the ffmpeg-packaging-team (whoever that
might be. Still to be resolved I guess) can handle it. It will also
address the issue for a large chunk of Debian users, who use sid anyway.
And before someone actually uploads the thing - can we please get it
into a git repo; clarify the team arrangements (collab-maint or set up a
new one?); and can we reach an agreement on whether the first upload
offers a binary ffmpeg package only (my preference), before we attempt
to tackle the library co-installation (which might take a lot longer,
require ftp master convincing etc.)
