> 1. investigating why debian removed helix

Removal has been requested in 2007 by its maintainer Daniel Baumann:

"""please remove helix-player from Debian. It has been a constant pain
about build regression, security issues and other problems. As other
players such as xine and mplayer do also support it's formats,
helix-player is not even usefull anymore."""
