Well.  There's too many changes for me to be happy with getting this
into wheezy.  And even if I were to make an exception, I'd like to know
what's the plan for keeping the package working for the lifetime of
wheezy.  Failing that the package needs to be removed, which involves
either removing or fixing freevo to not depend on it.
