Package: timecode Version: 1.3-1 Severity: grave How is this package useful at all, and why is it a -dev package? It contains no binaries, no libraries, and no headers. Only a bunch of example files and a PDF. Sounds more like a -doc package, but even that would be pretty useless. If this was not enough to warrant a grave bug, an example included doesn't actually compile...
