Thanks for the review again.
The thing with those files is that I do not actually *know* how to
compile them from source. So I suspect even packaging musicplayer would
be difficult, as I do not know how the binary files could be compiled.
But maybe this is something that should be considered.
In the meantime, I think I'll have to cripple the software by removing
the files from the distribution.
Would a simple debian/patches/foo.patch be sufficient? Or is there
something I am not familiar with .orig.tar.gz manipulation that can be
done?
Thanks,
A.
