Bug#800657: Please provide a vdpau-driver-all package and let libvdpau1 recommend it

[Alexander Kurtz]

Package:  src:libvdpau
Version:  1.1.1-1
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

the libva source package provides a va-driver-all meta package which is
loosely modeled after the xserver-xorg-{input,video}-all packages. [0]

It works like this:

 * libva1 recommends va-driver-all | va-driver, the latter being a
   virtual package which is provided by all VA drivers
 * va-driver-all depends on all free VA drivers (i965-va-driver, vdpau
   -va-driver) and suggests the non-free drivers (xvba-va-driver)

It would be great if libvdpau could provide a similar vdpau-driver-all
package which could roughly look like this:

 * libvdpau1 recommends vdpau-driver-all | vdpau-driver, the latter
   being a virtual package which is provided by all VDPAU drivers
 * vdpau-driver-all depends on all free VA drivers (libvdpau-va-gl1,
   mesa-vdpau-drivers) and suggests the non-free drivers (nvidia-vdpau
   -driver, nvidia-legacy-340xx-vdpau-driver)

Best regards

Alexander Kurtz
