Hi,
The ekiga version in experimental depends on:
libpt2.4.2-plugins-alsa | libpt2.4.2-plugins-oss,
libpt2.4.2-plugins-v4l2 | libpt2.4.2-plugins-v4l |
libpt2.4.2-plugins-avc | libpt2.4.2-plugins-dc
so this is visible. (By the way, I wanted to put all the plugins in one
package, but I was told it's not a good idea.)
I think it is too late to add it for lenny, only RC bugfixes can be
added for now. If everybody agrees, this bug can be closed.
Merry Christmas,
