Bug#548916: vlc: Package "libglobalhotkeys_plugin.so" and depend on "libxcb-keysyms"

Package: vlc
Version: 1.0.2-1
Severity: wishlist


VLC provides a global hotkey system (to use media keys even when VLC is
not focused) since 1.0, but this plugin is not built/enabled in the
Debian version. The file should be there:

/usr/lib/vlc/control/libglobalhotkeys_plugin.so

I tested by downloading the version of the file from the Videolan site
and installing the libxcb-keysyms0 package (now replaced by libxcb-keysyms1,
iirc) and it works as it should. I hope that the plugin is able to be
built against libxcb-keysyms1; I think that on the VideoLAN site they
don't mandate a specific version so it should work.

Thanks,
