It's hard to tell what the scope of this bug (and other TagLib 1.9 bugs we see) are in terms of users affected. So I'm not really able to determine a priority for whether I should spend time working on this. In general I'm not opposed if we have a strong reason to believe it's worth it. If someone can provide me a source package for TagLib 1.10 that supports Wily, Precise and Trusty -- I can push it to our PPAs.

I have a general concern about publishing other libraries to our PPA. I think most likely we'll push the library once and then forget about it (we still have a lost and forgotten portaudiov19 in our lp:mixxx/mixxx PPA from the one time we did this in the past!). What happens in this case? Is the user stuck on our old version when their distro offers a newer package?
