Well, I am writing an application that displays images from a high
resolution webcam so it may or may not be useful, but without
a working sample I don't have a way to judge that.
How I resolve this bug (removing the useless sample, or inflicting
a new dep on all users), really depends on what is best for the dist.
Do NOT remove samples. They are part of the package. You can add
a README.debian to the sample directory or /usr/share/doc with your
comments.
The correct way to handle this would be to make inclusion of
the media class library optional, but the upstream package may need
some work before you can easily do that.
Until now, no one has needed it, nor complained. If that has changed,
we can run a straw petition here to see who or what this extra cost
for existing users would help...
You have no way of knowing if anyone needed it. You only know if someone
reported it and that is usually a small percentage of cases.
