Fairly good package status for pkg-xiph-maint

[Martin Steghöfer]

Hi Petter,

I did read the email and followed your recent work on the Xiph packages 
a little, but unfortunately I can't invest much time myself right now, 
I'm sorry.

Am I interpreting the freeze deadline right in that the most relevant 
freezes are the Soft Freeze and the Full Freeze, and that therefore we 
have approximately the rest of 2016 to get the packages into an 
appropriate shape for the Stretch release?

Cheers,
Martin
