[Pkg-audacious-maintainers] Bug#519160: audacious: debian/control::Description announces features not present

[jaalto]

Package: audacious
Version: 1.5.1-4
Severity: minor


    $ apt-cache show audacious

    Description: small and fast audio player which supports lots of formats
     Audacious is a fork of beep-media-player which supports winamp skins
     and many codecs.
     .
     In the default install, the following codecs are supported:
     .
      * MP3
      * Ogg Vorbis
      * AAC and AAC+
      * FLAC
      * Windows Media (WMA)
      * Musepack
      * TTA
      * Many module formats and much more!

But:

   $ apt-cache show audacious-plugins

   ...
   This package contains the base plugins. These plugins are the most
   tested, and provide the following features:
   * Audio CD reading
   * MPEG support (mp3)
   * Ogg Vorbis support
   * Windows Media support (WMA)
   * AAC support
   * FLAC support
   * ALAC support
   * WAVE support
   * ALSA output
   * OSS output
   * Disk writer output

SUGGESTION

If 'audacious' is player package and *-plugins' is the codec package,
perhaps the distictions would better be made more clear. The list of
codecs in 'audacious' should be removed if they are provided by
additional packages.
