Package: totem Version: 3.2.1-2+b2 Severity: wishlist Hi
lirc is the hardware abstraction for irman devices and other infrared
receivers, depending on liblircclient-dev (as it is already done)
should be sufficient for totem. Grepping through the totem source
package neither reveals any attempts to use the headers or libraries
provided by libirman-dev, besides this entry in the the shipped
upstream changelog:
ChangeLog.pre-gitlog:

Moved to lirc instead of irman for remote stuff. New TotemRemote
object.
* acconfig.h: s/TOTEM_IRMAN/TOTEM_REMOTE/
* configure.in: check for lirc
* src/Makefile.am: remove totem-irman.[ch], add totem-remote.[ch]
* src/totem-irman.c: bye bye
* src/totem-irman.h:
* src/totem-remote.c: (totem_lirc_to_command),
(totem_remote_read_code), (totem_remote_finalize),
(totem_remote_class_init), (totem_remote_init),
(totem_remote_get_type), (totem_remote_new):
* src/totem-remote.h:
* src/totem.c: (on_recent_file_activate),
(totem_button_pressed_remote_cb), (totem_setup_recent), (main):

Therefore I don't see any impact on totem from dropping the libirman-dev
build dependency for the next scheduled upload, there is no particular
urgency required.
It might be time to remove libirman from wheezy and totem is one of the
few packages which declare a package relation to it. The others being
lirc itself and lcdproc, both actually using libirman, but optionally,
to support a particular brand of rare/ old type serial based irman IR
receivers, while totem relies on lirc exclusively to use (a wide range
of) IR devices.
