Hi

Ok I will go trough and list what I think could be improved in README.Debian

There is a section "FFmpeg names". It says that the stripped packages will be named *-stripped-52 and that the (non existent) non-free packages will keep the original name. This isn't the case again as the stripped packages currently have the original name. Even if the unstripped packages enter Debian, from what I understand they will use the ubuntu namming convention *-unstripped-52.

The section about "disabled MPEG encoders" should be more specific because most people don't have the source package and can't read strip.sh. Anyways why would a user need to understand a shell script to know what a package can't do?

From what I read in strip.sh, we could simply add :

"The following video encoders were disabled in debian because of patents : H263, H264, MPEG2 video, MPEG4 and MS-MPEG4."


Next there is a section abouts patents, but only talks about MP3, AAC and ASF. Is there a difference between those patents and those of the mpeg encoders? If not it could be in the same section.

I hope this will help,

Xavier Douville
