        Hi!

 The long description of your package could need some formating
improvements. There are strange spacings involved, none after a fullstop
and twice double space in the next line.

 I would suggest applying this pseudo-patch:

  option. When sent non-SVG data, it will convert it to SVG using a template
  that can be specified by the svg-template-file option.

  VLC is the VideoLAN project's media player. It plays MPEG, MPEG2, MPEG4,
  DivX, MOV, WMV, QuickTime, mp3, Ogg/Vorbis files, DVDs, VCDs, and multimedia
  streams from various network sources.
#v-

 Also please notice that the Homepage URL is missing its trailing /.
It isn't optional and will result in two requests to the server instead
of only one (the first will result in a 301 Moved Permanently response).

 So long, and thanks for effort for Debian nevertheless!
Rhonda
