I don't think the average developer is really in a good position to resolve this - it will just create a whole lot of fuss and who knows if it will come to the right resolution. If it really doesn't matter than save a lot of fuss and flip a coin. If it does matter then the maintainers of the media-video herd should resolve this That's generally where the affected packages are, but they should of course call for comments from reverse dependencies after suitably framing the issue. If anybody feels that isn't going anywhere or isn't going in the right direction and that something needs to change, they can always ask the council to take it up. They're not really the ideal ones to get involved and will probably want somebody to make a really good case for why they should step in. However, if there really is a need for some kind of democratic vote at least the problem becomes properly informing seven people and not 200. Rich
