Package: minitube Followup-For: Bug #852601
after discussing this with a DM it was suggested that the 'totem' program also has the ability to search youtube and it's debian package includes a valid google API key[1] for this purpose; so perhaps minitube package could use that key to satisfy option #2 above - it should probably be cleared with the totem maintainer however, as to whether that uses a developer's personal key or if the key is intended to be used "for debian" generally also to note though, is that totem is a well-established project that has been in debian for many years so it seems that the minitube program does not offer any unique functionality and so removing it (option #4) would not remove any functionality from debian - the dependency chain on a clean debian9 install is much smaller though; which is itself, a valuable feature: > totem: 129 packages - 72 MB download - 184 MB installed > minitube: 7 packages - 2 MB download - 7 MB installed [1]: https://sources.debian.net/src/totem/3.22.1-1/src/totem-grilo.conf
