[Pkg-opt-media-team] Are patches welcome?

Hi Rogério,

You're welcome :-) I'm glad that the project is no longer orphaned.

Agreed; I followed the same practice when Daniel was maintainer. By looking
at the patches from 72.1-1, we have:

01-docdir: This seems to be an incompatibility between ./configure and
the Debian build system. The patch is a fix for the symptoms, but not
the cause, so it will likely only fix things for Debian. I would like
to understand why ./configure --docdir=foo --docsubdir=bar does not work
as expected, and apply fixes there. Any ideas?

02-encryption and 03-dvdrom are legally unclear in some
countries including the one I am living in. I will not
touch them.

04-manpage has just been applied to the 0.73.1 tree (not yet published)

05-help-dialog is required to document changes from patches 02/03.

Feel free to suggest more patches ;-)

Cheers,
   Carsten
