Hello all,

Ubuntu just released a new version of vc (https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/
+source/vc/1.3.0-0ubuntu1). This could be reused by Debian.

Aleksey, are you still working towards this RFS? If yes, you may take a look 
at this Ubuntu package. If not, please disown and close this bug (#849493).

Still I think the name "vc" and "vc-dev" should be acceptable. Changing into 
other name will cause split between Debian and all Ubuntu derivatives.
