Hi Auro,

Thanks for reaching out, and for the suggestions.

Flowblade seems to already exist in Ubuntu 
(http://packages.ubuntu.com/zesty/flowblade), so we could easily add 
this to our seeds so it was installed automatically. But we have to be 
careful that we don't just install everything and have a carefully 
selected set of packages. Not having much time for playing with video 
stuff at the moment, what extra features, or workflow support would 
flowblade add on top of the other video applications?

Photoflow is a bit harder, as it has not been packaged for Debian yet 
(Debian is normally where our packages come from). It looks like it 
almost made it in 2014 
(https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=774005). Maybe you 
could reply to that bug (copying in Laszlo), to chase up the status and 
give a friendly push? Maybe if he is no longer interested, he has some 
basic packaging that someone could take forward?

Regards,

Ross
