control: severity -1 important

I agree, thanks for noting that as well.  Let's see if I do this 
correctly, I always have problems recalling the details of operating 
with cont...@bugs.debian.org.

Yes, it was more of a philosophical issue.  That is the reason why I am 
leaving this bug report open, in case we get a patch in time or if some 
dependency really needs this plugin.

Yes, the bug is still not resolved -- however, IMHO it's not RC anymore, 
so the severity should be downgraded to e. g. important. What do you think?

Hi, those are currently my thoughts as well.

I'm going to prepare a release like that, and we can see if any of the 
reverse dependencies is actively using this plugin; maybe some games as 
openmw are displaying movies, we will see.

Hi Alberto,

I've seen that you've already uploaded, great work, thanks!

Hi,

I think it would be a pity to release bookworm without openscenegraph, 
also because there a quite a lot of reverse dependencies.


Unfortunately, there hasn't been much progress yet, and the freeze is 
coming nearer.


I've just spotted how Ubuntu solved this:

https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openscenegraph/3.6.5+dfsg1-7ubuntu1

They disabled ffmpeg support, so that the package can be included in 
their release, albeit with fewer features.


Would that be a solution for Debian as well?

IMHO, we could drop the support for ffmpeg now, upload the reduced 
version and allow all dependencies to migrate to testing again. *If* 
there is a patch available in time for ffmpeg support, we can still 
upload that version for bookworm.


What do you think?

Regards,
Tobias
