Bug#688855: linphone: not compiled with vp8 video codec

[Guillaume BERAUDO]

Package: linphone
Version: 3.5.2-10
Severity: serious
Justification: 0: makes the package in question unusable or mostly so

Dear Maintainers,

Linphone supports natively the vp8 video codec.
However, the debian/control file doesn't depend on libvpx-dev.

The vp8 codec is quickly replacing theora as the common patent free
video codec for voip.

This is serious, the lack of support in Wheezy would make Linphone
irrelevant for the next few years.

Trivial patch attached.


Cheers,

Guillaume Beraudo
