[Bug 309568] [NEW] Please backport Swfdec 0.8.2 from Jaunty to Intrepid & Hardy

[Mackenzie Morgan]

Public bug reported:

Swfdec 0.8.2 fixes a lot of memory issues (leaks, crashes) that are
found in 0.8.0 (the version currently found in Intrepid).

As compared to the version in Hardy (0.6.4), it adds support for
PulseAudio, kind of a necessity since Hardy uses PulseAudio.  I have
personally backported 0.8.2 in pbuilder for my Hardy amd64 system, and I
can confirm that it works very well.

See: release notes for 0.8.2:
