Bug#694657: libav-source: debian/copyright file no longer seems to be accurate

Version: 6:0.8.4-1
Severity: important
Hello,
it seems to me that the debian/copyright file [1] is no longer
consistent with the actual content of the upstream source archive
(libav_0.8.4.orig.tar.gz).
For instance, file libavcodec/dtsdec.c no longer exists (there
is a libavformat/dtsdec.c , but it's licensed under the terms
of the GNU LGPL v2.1 or later, not under the GNU GPL...).
File libswscale/swscale.c is now licensed under the terms of
the GNU LGPL v2.1 or later (and no longer under the GNU GPL...).
And so forth...
Please perform a new licensing audit and update the debian/copyright
file. Maybe this could be the opportunity to switch to the new
machine-readable debian/copyright file format [2]...
Thanks for your time!
Bye.
