[Bug 923226] Re: Update celt to 0.11.3

[Thorvald Natvig]

Unless you have another package that depends on a newer version of CELT,
is there a reason to package the new one? Debian has deliberately not
packaged a newer version because there isn't a single package that
depends on newer versions, whereas Mumble does depend on 0.7.1. Newer
versions of packaging are sitting in git, but there just hasn't been any
point in releasing them; we'd have to have both versions, which
introduces hassle and complexity without any clear benefit.

Most of CELT upstream's efforts are going towards Opus, the new codec
from IETF. CELT is part of this new codec, so it's unlikely that new
software will be developed that depend on stand-alone CELT after Opus
has been released. Mumble has Opus code ready to go, but we can't
release it until the standardization in IETF is finished.

Are there any new packages that need CELT 0.11?
