elfeed-web uses Foundation [1], AngularJS [2], and URI.js [3], loading
them from various CDN sites in index.html:

    <link rel="stylesheet" href="//cdn.jsdelivr.net/foundation/4.3.1/css/foundation.min.css"/>
    <script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/angularjs/1.0.7/angular.min.js"></script>
    <script src="//cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/URI.js/1.7.2/URI.min.js"></script>

AngularJS is included in main, but Foundation and URI.js are not. This
is probably a violation of Policy 2.2.1, which states that “None of the
packages in the main archive area requires software outside of that
area to function.”

Ideally, Debian’s elfeed-web should Depend on packages containing
Foundation, AngularJS, and URI.js, and it should be patched to load
those resources from the same origin as index.html. There’s already an
ITP for URI.js, which I’ve marked as a blocker for this bug.

Hi,

Since elfeed 3.3.0-2 elfeed-web is shipped in contrib, not main, so I
downgrade this bug report to normal. In future, when all elfeed-web
dependencies will be available in main, this bug may be closed.

Regards,
Lev

Since elfeed-web 4.0.0, all aforementioned dependencies (AngularJs,
foundation css, URI.js) are dropped upstream, so the package is clean
for main again.
