Hi,

I'd like to request removal of src:libmediascan. When I added it to 
Debian, I did it because I was working on a package that had this as an 
vendored copy. I never finished that work, but if I would, libmediascan 
is no longer vendor nor a dependency. It recently received a FTBFS bug 
(for the next perl) and the perl team (under which umbrella the package 
is maintained) considers this an unusual beast.

I think it's best to get rid of it.

Paul
