Package: exaile Version: 0.3.2.0-0.1 Severity: important Usertags: embedded-code-copy Justification: violation of Debian Policy 4.13
Hi there. It seem that exaile includes an embedded convenience copy of a python module (simplejson) that is already in the archive. The Debian Policy explicitly discourages this. [0] Furthermore, the package can be made smaller (smaller downloads, smaller installations---important for live CDs) and more secure without this embedded copy. Please, feel free to tweak the severity of this bug. BTW, thanks for this very welcome upload: at least we got a version of exaile that is not bit-rotting. Regards, Rogério Brito.
