Yep, same concern here. I'm on the MATE packaging team and I am strongly against packaging any of these X apps. They don't bring any benefit really, any of the existing applications they are forking run perfectly fine on any desktop that Debian offers. I also fear additional work load for the security team if multiple instances of the same media player have to be taken care of. Adrian -- .''`.
