I had the impression that the 'other' debian-multimedia team was rather focus on 'professional' audio and video editing tools rather than 'classic' multimedia packages like media players and multimedia libraries. If the debian-multimedia team is indeed dead, we should avoid setting it in the maintainer field of any package. Nobody is served with unreachable (or non-existant) maintainers. -- Gruesse/greetings, Reinhard Tartler, KeyID 945348A4
