Hi !

Since I like stating the obvious, it appears you embed a copy of liblastfmfp (yes, apparently that is the real name of fplib...) in your package. As part of Stefano's and I efforts to package beets and its plugins for Debian, pylastfp would be a target of choice, but the Debian Policy doesn't allow for embedded copies (I am currently packaging the upstream version). That's why I was wondering if it were possible not to ship fplib but instead use the system libraries (assuming the user installed the right package).

If you don't have any objection but don't want to do the work, which would be perfectly natural, I will nonetheless do the work myself as part of the packaging process, and will then forward you the modifications — as soon as I am finished with the upstream package :)

Cheers,

Simon
