Progress on this stopped because no-one was willing to review the latest
version of the package in REVU, and the deadline for 8.04 then passed.

However there's also the more fundamental issue that since the ffmpeg
libraries in Ubuntu are built without support for non-free formats, and
therefore the version of fuppes needs to be built without support for
all these codecs.  This does mean that a packaged version of fuppes for
Ubuntu would be somewhat less useful that one built from scratch against
a recompiled ffmpeg (depending on what people are doing with it).

I still think fuppes should make it into the Ubuntu repositories (albeit
without video transcoding support), and I'd be happy to pick up any
comments from REVU and get the package submitted.  As a separate (but
larger) issue, it would be nice if ffmpeg could be repackaged in such a
way that free and non-free versions existed in the Ubuntu
repositories....
