Bug#747921: Please use an explicit section for libavcodec-extra

[Stefan Lippers-Hollmann]

Package: libavcodec-extra
Version: 6:10.1-1
Severity: minor
Tags: patch

Hi

Without an explicit section declaration, libavcodec-extra inherits
Section: libs from the source stanza of debian/control and gets flagged
as obsolete by tools like deborphan. An alternative is setting another
section like metapackages or video explicitly, the attached patch uses
"metapackages" as introduced in Debian Policy 3.9.3.

Regards
	Stefan Lippers-Hollmann
