Bug#702762: "More or less" dead upstream

[Reinhard Tartler]

For deinterlacing, have you looked at vf_yadif, (part of libavfilter)?
That would give you much better deinterlacing results anyways.

Regarding filing bugs, you may be right. Do you have some spare cycles
and would be willing to start filing the bugs?  OTOH, I'm not sure if
that's strictly necessary, because packages depending on this won't
migrate to testing, as you mentioned earlier. Maybe a lintian warning
would be more helpful, such as seen in #730714.

I did not push very hard on this issue because I wanted to see if
there would be any upstream activity and it would make sense to keep
libpostproc anyways. It turns out that the upstream repository
http://git.videolan.org/?p=libpostproc.git  didn't see real functional
development that aren't build fixes for years. Moreover, nobody
stepped up to take over the package. Now 1.5y later, it may be a good
time to phase libpostproc out of debian for good.


Best,
Reinhard
