Title:
  [MIR] libixion (b-d of liborcus)

Status in “libixion” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete
Status in “liborcus” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in “libixion” source package in Utopic:
  Incomplete
Status in “liborcus” source package in Utopic:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  1. Availability: libixion is available in utopic universe and build on all platforms
  https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libixion/0.7.0-2ubuntu1

  2. Rationale: Hard dependency of LibreOffice 4.3, which is already in
  main -- only alternative would be to use the internal copy of the same
  lib (which is what we currently do on utopic).

  3. Security:
  No reported issues on http://secunia.com/search/?search=libixion or http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvekey.cgi?keyword=libixion
  Any binaries running as root or suid/sgid? No.
  Any daemons? No.
  Network activity: No.
  Does it directly (not through a library) process binary (video, audio, etc) or structured (PDF, etc) data ? No, while libixion is processing formulas in documents, its in no way a file filter itself.

  4. QA:
  In what situations does the package not work out of the box without configuration? None
  Does the package ask any debconf questions higher than priority 'medium'? No
  Debian bugs: None, https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?repeatmerged=no&src=libixion
  Upstream bug tracker: https://bugs.freedesktop.org
  Is there a test suite in the upstream source or packaging ? Yes.
  Is it enabled to run in the build ? Yes

  5. UI:
  doesnt apply

  6. Deps:
  buildtime: debhelper (>= 8.0.0), autotools-dev, zlib1g-dev, python, dh-autoreconf, pkg-config, libboost-system-dev, dpkg-dev (>= 1.16.1), libboost-thread-dev, libboost-program-options-dev, libmdds-dev (>= 0.9)
  All are resolvable in utopic-main.
  runtime: libzip-dev, libmdds-dev (>= 0.9)
  All are resolvable in utopic-main.

  7. Standards:
  FHS, Debian Policy compliance? Yes
  Packaging system (debhelper/cdbs/dbs)? debhelper
  Patch system? quilt
  Any packaging oddities? Needed temp. bump of somewhat older autoconf to build on ppc64el -- should be solved on upstream master (and thus for subsequest releases)

  8. Maintenance
  Small lib with default autotools buildsystem => low maintenance
  Well cared for at Debians OpenOffice/LibreOffice Team.

  9. Background:
  Spin-out from LibreOffice -- we have the code in main already anyway.
