[Pkg-xbmc-maintainers] Bug#716806: XBMC is outdated

[Alexander Heinlein]

Package: xbmc
Version: 2:11.0~git20120510.82388d5-1
Followup-For: Bug #716806


According to
http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=Installing_XBMC_for_Linux#Arch
> The Debian repository maintainers have rejected XBMC v12's entry into
> their default repository (which also feeds into the default Ubuntu
> repositories) due to the fact that XBMC uses an internal FFmpeg, instead
> of system wide libav, as demanded by Debian. XBMC is unable to do this
> currently for various reasons, one of which is that it would take a great
> amount of time to switch over to that library.

I don't know if there has been any further progress on this issue.
