Hello,

I am not a debian developer, but I have been working with the upstream
maintainer (who is also the Debian developer of this package), Loic
Dachary.  I am working toward debian developer status and am maintaining
this package by proxy through Loic.

First, please be aware that Yocto-Reader is a proof of concept
application waiting for a backend application.  We put it into Debian in
the hopes that it would be discovered by more people who might be
inspired to develop and improve this application.  I think everyone in
the Free Software world probably agrees that a Free Software replacement
for Google Reader  would be a good thing.

Regarding what Charles Plessy calls "Florian's Point (B)": The link to
the Google API is there for manual testing purposes, and can be removed.
It doesn't actually provide any real functionality.  yocto-reader isn't
compatible with Google's backend anyway.  I plan to repackage
yocto-reader this weekend without the Google API link.  I will note the
progress on that issue one week from today on this ticket.

In addition, I will also add something that automatically presents a
C&CS download link in the installation of yocto-reader itself.  This
should address what Charles Plessy calls "Florian's Point (A)".

I apologize I cannot get to this item quicker, but I have three jobs and
yocto-reader packaging is something I'm working on as a volunteer, so
weekends are the only time I have to spare to work on it, and sadly I
had already booked this weekend for other work   before I saw this bug
ticket.
