Draft packaging for OpenAI Whisper is now available from <URL: https://salsa.debian.org/deeplearning-team/openai-whisper >.
I dropped the dependency for ffmpeg-python, due to an inactive ffmpeg-python upstream and no real need for this dependency. The package build and work, but will download the requested model from the Internet on first invocation and store it in ~/.cache/whisper/. -- Happy hacking Petter Reinholdtsen
