Can this please get re-checked. Debian is using openjpeg for their
Ghostscript package and as Debian acknowledged the new license of
Ghostscript (AGPL) we could get back to syncing Ghostscript with Debian
again, bu this will only work if we have libopenjpeg in Main.

Title:
  [MIR] openjpeg

Status in openjpeg package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  libopenjpeg should be included in main because compiling poppler with
  --enable-openjpeg in debian/rules gives poppler greater functionality
  (please see bug 710412). Since this change to /debian/rules adds
  libopenjpeg as a build-dep to poppler, which is in main, libopenjpeg
  must also be in main.

  Main inclusion requirements:

  1. It is already in the universe.

  2. The package is a new build-dep, and has a large user base (think
  evince).

  3. Searching http://secunia.com/advisories/search/ for libopenjpeg
  gave zero results.

  4. Libopenjpeg has no current Ubuntu bugs (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/maverick/+source/openjpeg)
       in the Debian bug tracking system libopenjpeg has 1 open bug (http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?pkg=libopenjpeg2), this is an encoding bug, but the main use for this package will be decoding.
       Libopenjpeg does not require any configuration or debconf questions.

  5. N/A

  6. All build-deps are already included in main.

  7. I am afraid that this is a bit over my head, hopefully someone else
  could ensure that this package meets the requirments here. Based on
  its long inclusion in Debian and Ubuntu I think that it should be
  alright here.

  8.This is a fairly simple program not needed too much maintenance, as
  shown by the bug reports.

  9. The package title and description seem to be in order.

  
  My only final comments are that I am sorry this may not be quite the normal MIR, but I am just a member of bug control, not a dev. Also, any help and advise along the way would be much appreciated.
