[Rationale]

- The package dav1d is required in Ubuntu main for libheif
- The package dav1d will generally be useful for a large part of our
  user base as it provides a state of art and royalty-free video
  codec [1].
- Package dav1d provides AV1 decoding like aom, but lacks video encoding.
- The package dav1d is a new runtime dependency of package libheif that
  we will support
- It would be great and useful to community/processes to have the package
  dav1d in Ubuntu main, but there is no definitive deadline.

[Security]

- No CVEs/security issues in this software in the past
- no executables in `/sbin` and `/usr/sbin`
- Package does not install services, timers or recurring jobs
- Packages does not open privileged ports (ports < 1024)
- Packages does contain extensions to security-sensitive software:
  the package provides AV1 video codec which processes untrusted input

[Quality assurance - function/usage]

[Quality assurance - maintenance]

  and long term critical bugs open
  - Ubuntu https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dav1d/+bug
  - Debian https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?src=dav1d
- The package does not deal with exotic hardware we cannot support

[Quality assurance - testing]

- The package runs a test suite on build time, if it fails.
  Note: only a small subset of tests is run, because full test requires test
  data download.
- The package does not run an autopkgtest because it is not implemented

[Quality assurance - packaging]

- debian/control defines a correct Maintainer field
