are you sure you wanted to say this? for me it kind of implies that: - either all users of kodi use it only through the packages provided (and patched) by Debian. - or any other users are not affected by the security concerns of using http:// (e.g because only the http-implementation provided by Debian is susceptible to mitm-attacks) - or all non-Debian users simply don't deserve a solution for that security fix. i cannot agree with any of these points, and i do think that any bug with severity "grave" that is not specific to Debian should be forwarded to upstream to be solved there (well, actually *any* bug that is non Debian-sepcific, not just the grave ones) .
