Looks good to me.

Just a few notes on LADSPA in general:

   - it's dead
   - it's been replaced by LV2
   - it has no GUI

Though non of these points prevents the package from being uploaded, I'm
pretty sure that the use of LADSPA plugins will diminish in the
foreseeable future.

I agree that it's always good to have some decent plugins (actually,
plugins make the difference between a simple harddisk recorder and a
useful digital audio workstation), one might argue that Linux needs LV2
plugins, not LADSPA.


Since audacity (and ardour) still supports LADSPA, I second uploading
this package.

According to

   http://audacityteam.org/wiki/index.php?title=LV2_Support

we'll see LV2 support in audacity as soon as we'll have slv2 (and that's
going to be uploaded soon, packaging done by Mira).

Ardour will also have LV2 by that time (I guess it uses slv2 or simply
lv2core, but we're going to have both within let's say four weeks)

We'll then clearly want calf (already on git.debian.org), the invada
studio plugins, some more LV2 plugins (nedko is working on something)
and the lot.


IOW: choice is good, but I'll expect people use the new and fancy LV2
plugins instead.
