No Tartler changed the bug severity 4 weeks after I've filed this
bug report. If he disagree, the severity should be changed immediately.

No these codecs are disallowed in Debian till now. Again, nothing has
changed in Debian or in these codecs licence to make these codecs free.

Your are simply removing a RC bug for the squeeze release. Really easy
to solve a bug and to add this mess in stable.

If ffmpeg is released with these codecs in squeeze somebody should
endorse the responsibility.

Tartler to have enabled these codecs and you to have reassigned this bug
report.

Still waiting to know why these codecs have been enabled.
