I am the author of the 'album' and 'album-data' packages.
I distribute a 'deb' for the package as well as a tar for the data
package which someone (I'm not actually sure who) turns into an
ubuntu package.
For some reason they are adding an unnessary dependency:
% apt-cache show album-data
Depends: album, libjs-swfobject
There is no reason for this package to depend on libjs-swfobject, and
this is causing downstream distro's to not provide the package.
How can I get the dependencies updated properly?
Your application is packaged in Debian, i.e. Ubuntu simply syncs it from
the Debian repo.
I notice this bug: https://bugs.debian.org/908694
Unfortunately the Debian package maintainer seems to have stepped down,
and nobody else has fixed the bug. As a result the album-data package is
not available in Debian Buster and Ubuntu 20.04.
So the Debian package needs a new maintainer. Or at least it needs some
love by some Debian developer who helps out by dropping that dependency.
