I checked all points from https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuMainInclusionRequirements. Noteworthy comments:

 - well maintained in Debian for about a year now; package got bugs, and all of them got fixed so far

 - libquvi0 is badly packaged, it has files in non SONAME specific directory /usr/share/quvi/lua/ . I just filed a bug about this. If there is a SONAME bump, we could work around this with a Replaces:, so it's not a total blocker for MIR, but at least should be called out.

 - The code doesn't use any dynamic memory allocation at all (only in the autogenerated cmdline.c, from gengetopt), and in general looks careful. I checked for some common security pitfalls, looks fine. It's not much C code anyway.

The shared object naming is kind of nasty, but for natty, I think this will be okay. Debian will have the same SONAME bump pain, and there's no good reason to do the transition out of sync with them.

My main problem with this is that it will eventually age and need SRUing in stable releases when upstream video services change their behaviors.

But I don't see anything that jumps out at me. +1
