Comment 6 for bug 270404

Talked to an upstream dev today:

23:34 < j-b> http://www.jbkempf.com/blog/post/2008/03/28/Build-VLC-media-player-under-Ubuntu-Hardy-804 is still my configure, that i use
23:35 < j-b> jdong: yes, but you need libass, which is in debian NEW
23:35 < jdong> j-b: I believe it's in intrepid
23:35 < jdong> https://edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libass
23:35 < j-b> and qgtkstyle is more than recommanded
23:35 < j-b> jdong: great

Also, see http://nightlies.videolan.org/build/intrepid-i386/ for upstream's packaging.

Right now I've got most of the dependencies nailed but need to do some work on debian/rules.
