Let's recap.

You've decided to ship a *fundamentally broken* version of the package. It is 
simply *not possible* to talk to the vast majority of the userbase, and it 
will remain that way for the foreseeable future.

You are doing that out of the abstract fear that the CELT library *may* have 
some vulnerability, yet, even though it has been used for quite some time now, 
none are known.

You are not putting in place any notification that this will happen, making 
users believe they'd get a functional package.

So effectively, you are misleading users and damaging the reputation of the 
mumble project out of some vague unfounded fear that something bad may be 
going on somewhere, and you make a wishlist item out of the situation so the 
whole broken mess will trickle down into testing and eventually stable where 
it will cause massive headaches.

This is OpenSSH all over again!

As we discussed on IRC, you should, IMO, either remove the client package from 
the official repositories since it is completely useless as it is, or rebrand 
it properly and put some warnings in place that the client is useless and 
people need to compile it themselves or get it from somewhere else.
