So all in all we have the following:

Some distributions/people choose odd location of the modules. Which
can lead to the system (vdpau/omx) looking at the wrong place for the
backends, i.e. not working. One can consider that there is no way to
override the module location at runtime.
Do we have more specifics? If they're doing something stupid and it
breaks, they typically get to keep the pieces.

Debian/Ubuntu install to /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/vdpau/? Isn't
${libdir} just /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ in that case?

Hmm I was under the impression that ${libdir} and
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ are different things. Can I consider you as a
volunteer for the following, even if the chances of it happening are zero ?

How many volunteers do we have that will guide Debian/Ubuntu/other to
do the correct thing ? If we have at least one, I will be OK with
reverting the patch.
Guide who? The maintainers? Sure, I'll happily help them out.

Pretty much everyone that reports a bug/send an email to the ML/posts a
big and flashy "review" along the lines of "vdpau/omx/va is
useless/broken" like YKW.

The numbers/reports will be low (if any), but the encounters are likely
to be quite "interesting".
I'm more than happy to enlighten people as to why what they're doing
is wrong. I guess this patch is good then?

You need to implement the same for the OMX target as well, since the intention was to get a consistent behavior.

Christian.
