Time has passed, and it seems you have at least the time to go on kidding us:

You uploaded libmkv to your repository immediately you saw the same package
was accepted by FTP-masters. It is in a clear view you don't care
about versioning
and now, thanks to the -dmoX scheme, your package still supersede the libmkv
provided by Debian now.

You are doing harm to Debian users, and it is *not* appreciated.

Have you ever looked at that custom version of Debian's logo you are still using
on your website? It looks very ambiguous to me, much more than the name itself.

Do you agree to publish such a statement/disclaimer to clearly inform users that
debian-multimedia.o ("deb-multimedia.org", or whatever) *IS NOT* Debian?
Please let us know what you think about the point above.

Regards.
