Package: exaile
Version: 0.3.2.0-0.1
Severity: important
Usertags: embedded-code-copy
Justification: violation of Debian Policy 4.13
Hi there.
It seem that exaile includes an embedded convenience copy of a python
module (simplejson) that is already in the archive. The Debian Policy
explicitly discourages this. [0]
Furthermore, the package can be made smaller (smaller downloads, smaller
installations---important for live CDs) and more secure without this
embedded copy.
Please, feel free to tweak the severity of this bug. BTW, thanks for this
very welcome upload: at least we got a version of exaile that is not
bit-rotting.
Regards, Rogério Brito.
