Debian packaging could use some upgrading

Debian packaging could use some upgrading

The packaging of the Debian/Ubuntu port really could use some upgrading.

 

1) APT sources migration from list to deb822 format:

 

What it currently ships:

$ cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/spotify.list
deb http://repository.spotify.com stable non-free

 

What it should ship instead:

$ cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/spotify.sources
Types: deb
URIs: http://repository.spotify.com
Suites: stable
Components: non-free

Signed-By: /usr/share/keyrings/spotify-archive-stable.gpg

 

2) Dependencies

 

The package currently Recommends every variant of libavcodec and libavformat. A simpler line would be:

 

Recommends: libavcodec | libavcodec-extra, libavformat | libavformat-extra

 

3) If Spotify wants a Debian Maintainer and Ubuntu developer on their team, I'm available.
