Dear Marcus,

Thanks for the reply.  At the moment, I'm not sure that swfupload can be
built on Debian from source.  I'm really not an expert with Flash, but
swfupload seems to require an ActionScript3 compiler, and I don't
believe free ActionScript3 compilers exist.

This would mean that swfupload could not be in Debian main, which in
turn would mean MojoMojo couldn't either, unless it is still useful
without swfupload.

For a recent comment and explanation from a Debian ftpmaster (who makes
these decisions), see

All the best,

    David
