I don't think that the rather unique situtation of dav1d with the patent issues applies to other packages in NEW.

Do you have a pointer to this conversation on libudfread as separate package in Debian? The first time I looked at libudfread, upstream (which includes JB) was against packaging libudfread as it was considered an implementation detail of libbluray.
