It's not Christian's fault that there are incompatibilities. There
are things in the programs he packages that require libraries to be

far as I can tell. It may not even be possible to resolve them.
So you seem to know more than:
http://wiki.debian.org/DebianMultimedia/FAQ
http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/pkg-multimedia-maintainers/2012-April/026170.html

A google search:
"Christian Marillat" site:lists.alioth.debian.org
is also revealing.
I take the view that there are usually two sides to a story. It's been a
while since I've exchanged e-mails with Christian but his version of the
story is a little different.
Anyway, I'm not going to dis anyone who puts his personal time toward
making software freely available. As I said earlier, I've stopped using
his repository rather reluctantly. He has some nice stuff that I'd love
to see in the official tree.
