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.
