control: tags -1 + wheezy-ignore control: retitle -1 libav/lena.pnm: non-DFSG free + not mentioned in copyright
first of all, the file in question is libav-11/tests/lena.pnm second, as referred in the mail referred to by the original bugreport, please read https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Lenna.png#Licensing According to that and also to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Files_for_deletion/2011_November_4#File:Lenna.png it seems to me that this file is distributable under fair use policy, especially since it's a low-res thumbnail as well. (the wikipedia low-res image is 512x512, the image in libav is 256x245). Yet while it's distributable, it's also clearly not DFSG free and btw it's also not mentioned in debian/copyright at all. So for sid+jessie I recommend to drop this file. Also not least because "Suggestive pictures used in lectures on image processing ... convey the message that the lecturer caters to the males only. For example, it is amazing that the "Lena" pin-up image is still used as an example in courses and published as a test image in journals today." as explained in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lenna (btw, regarding usage in test cases: I have to admit I don't understand how/if usage of this file as a test case is relevant in the Debian context. Explainations welcome...)
