Is it still plagued by legally uncertain components as outlined in

Consider helping with improving unofficial cinelerra debs and maybe you
can figure out how to fix legal and technical problems and get them into
debian. They also may be a good base to start with:

deb http://www.kiberpipa.org/~minmax/cinelerra/builds/sid ./
deb-src http://www.kiberpipa.org/~minmax/cinelerra/builds/sid ./

(you'll also need:
deb ftp://ftp.nerim.net/debian-marillat/ unstable main
)

 Cinelerra includes a lot of libraries in it that are available
 externally like libavc1394.  Most of the libraries are already
 available as debian packages and are the same versions provided in
 unstable, but most are at least close to the same version.
 libraw1394 version 0.9.0 is in the cinelerra and version 0.10.1 is
 in unstable.  Should I remove them from the cinelerra source code
 and use the version in debian?  Also, if I do so, then that will
 leave me with a huge diff file removing a lot of code from the
 original tarball, should I just find a way to disable them or
 slightly modify the original tarball just to remove those libraries?

I think there is no need to include those libraries in upstream tarball.
Consider that I'm not DD, but probably the best solution would be to
extract their tarball and remove those libraries, then tar-gzip it again
an start packaging. If their autotools/makefile's use those included
libraries then patching it to use Debian versions would be nice.
