[Bug 1694791] [NEW] Sync libmpc 2:0.1~r495-1 (universe) from Debian unstable (main)

[Hans Joachim Desserud]

Public bug reported:


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?
