Source: libwebp Version: 0.4.1-1.2 Severity: important Tags: patch Justification: Policy 2.5
Hi, currently libwebp and all of its binaries have the priority extra. On the other hand, at least the library is used by other binaries with an higher priority -- for example: all the webkit-based sources (chromium-browser, qtwebkit-opensource-src, webkitgtk, webkit2gtk), ffmpeg, gthumb, kde-runtime, leptonlib, sdl-image1.2 & libsdl2-image, pillow, python-webm, qtimageformats-opensource-src, vips, and xpra. According to Policy ยง2.5, at least the libwebp*N and libwebp-dev should be optional. Attached there is a patch for bumping the priority to optional to all the binaries, as it is usually done by other sources. (Note that after an upload of this, you will also need to file a bug against ftp.debian.org to adjust on ftp-master side the priorities of the binaries.) Thanks, -- Pino
