Bug Description

Binary package hint: miro

The latest upload of miro to intrepid, 1.2.3-1.1ubuntu1, has gone to the NEW queue because it's added a new binary package, democracyplayer-data. This package's description says that it's a *transitional* package that can be safely removed - but this package has never existed in Ubuntu before, so it's not needed at all for transitioning. Furthermore, it's a data package, which means end users should not have any reason to install this package directly; this in turn means that even for those cases where democracyplayer-data did exist as a package, no transitional package is needed, because transitioning the end-user application is sufficient to pull in the updated data package.

Please drop this transitional package again from intrepid in a future upload, in coordination with the Debian maintainer as appropriate.
