Hi Ron! As you will see from reading the bug report log: (i) it affects *lots* of people using testing/unstable (ii) the fix is almost entirely trivial, and orthogonal to any changes in the opus package itself - it only affects the package build by specifying that the libraries should be installed in locations conforming to the multiarch specification, and it does this by modifying only four files in the debian/ directory - it does not touch anything outside of there (iii) the fix should work fine in stable and backports as well - stable already had support for multiarch (iv) a significant number of people have used the patch with success Please do reconsider applying this patch to the current not-yet-stable release of opus! It will also indicate if there are as-yet unforeseen problems afoot which would otherwise bite if it were applied to the as-yet-to-be-released stable version.
