Marking wont fix for now for 14.10.  We'll just the bundled version of
liborcus in libreoffice, which doesn't even link to libixion.  No one is
using liborcus in Ubuntu yet.

In general though, I do love un-bundled libraries and being able to
share packages with Debian.  So I'd like to see this re-evaluated in
future releases.

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

  Incomplete
Status in “liborcus” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in “libixion” source package in Utopic:
  Won't Fix
Status in “liborcus” source package in Utopic:

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.
