Bug Description

I came across this package, wondering why Debian has a newer version which didn't seem to automatically sync in Artful. After some digging, I discovered that the package had been blacklisted [1] and thus prevented from syncing. Originally done because the binary packages provided were also offered by a different package libmpcdec (bug 540019).

However, I did some more digging and found that libmpcdec had been removed shortly after [2]. With this other package gone, I wonder if there is still reasons to keep libmpc in the blacklist or whether it could be synced to the latest version available in Debian?

You need to get this unblacklisted from syncing, otherwise we'd be at the same situation as before right after the next debian upload.
Besides this package is not diverged from debian, so after unblacklisting no actions should be needed.

~ubuntu-archive is subscribed, but IME it works better if somebody go nags in #ubuntu-release (note: I haven't reviewed this case at all myself).
