Bug Description

Binary package hint: vcf-plugins

The packages vcf and vcf-plugins deliver the same functionality, vcf should be choosen because it's also in the debian repository.
http://packages.debian.org/cgi-bin/search_packages.pl?searchon=names&subword=1&version=all&release=all&keywords=vcf

This package (vcf-plugins) should be removed from the ubuntu-repository.

ubuntustudio-audio-plugins should depend on vcf.

Indeed. vcf-plugins should be removed. The current version in Ubuntu does not match debian, and is unmaintained. The Debian vcf package entirely replaces the Ubuntu package.
