+DeaDBeeF for Debian
+-------------------
+DeaDBeeF is a plugin-based system. However, only some of the officially
+distributed plugins are packaged for Debian.
+
+ – The aac, alac, alsa, artwork, cdda, ddb_gui_GTK2, ddb_gui_GTK3,
+ ddb_mono2stereo, dsp_libsrc, ffmpeg, flac, hotkeys, lastfm, m3u, mpgmad,
+ notify, nullout, oss, pltbrowser_gtk2, pltbrowser_gtk3, pulse, shellexec,
+ shellexecui_gtk2, shellexecui_gtk3, sndfile, supereq, tta, vfs_curl, vorbis,
+ vtx, and wavpack plugins have no licensing or policy issues, and I’ve built
+ them.
+
+ – The adplug, dca, dumb, ffap, gme, mms, musepack, shn, sid, wildmidi, and wma
+ plugins currently run afoul of the binary duplication policy (DPM §4.13) and
+ are thus not yet packaged.
+
+ – The converter plugin currently installs data in incorrect locations. It
+ needs patching.
+
+ – The vfs_zip plugin triggers a Lintian warning about hardening flags. Until
+ I’ve determined why this is a problem, I’ve disabled it.
+
+ – The coreaudio plugin is useless on Debian systems, so it’s not built.
+
+ – Two plugins – ddb_ao and shn – rely on source which cannot be redistributed
+ under the DFSG. I’ve cleaned the offending sources from the tree, which is
+ why DeaDBeeF releases have a +dfsg tag.
