Surprise, Surprise, the maintainer answered in/around 30 minutes
although sadly I got to see his reply now. <br>
<br>
As shared by him, the kodi package (with the name change and some
changes) is already in the ftp-master 'NEW' queue. <br>
<br>
AFAIK all the repos. within Debian would be frozen till 25th
day/night till Jessie is not released. Also once the floodgates open
there would be lot of lot of stuff in NEW that the ftp-masters would
have to process so in that when kodi's number will come is not
known. <br>
<br>
What is good news for us is that the initial packaging is all done
and hence the source packages are available to us or nearly
available to us (shouldn't be much of a problem getting that
version). The real problem would be though if we want a newer
version than that as then we would have to patch it. <br>
<br>
Also I do hope that people know that Debian's headers are different
than Ubuntu's headers so you cannot and should not be mixing those
together. While people have done it and survived I have also seen
enough cases where it does blow up afterwards spectacularly as well.

Previously the app. had an embedded ffmpeg library while Debian
has libav. While ffmpeg has again come into the mainline repo.
now still some issues might be remaining. If the maintainer gets
time I hope to get a reply soonish :)
