  In principle I am fine with it too.

  My reasons for being unsure about it were:

  1) I was not sure if MEncoder might be affected;
     now I am rather sure it doesn't affect on MEncoder

  2) This is part of -identify output, thus it could
     cause problems for other programs parsing this output
     (e.g. using that output for grouping by genre, could
      end up with 2 instead of one groups for Psychedelic)

  I am not opposed to fixing the genre typo. In addition I
would add a sentence in Changelog that mentions it.

  FWIW to comply with what is in common range to the current
spec we would have to do these adjustments:

    25: Eurotechno -> Euro-Techno
    40: Alternative Rock -> AlternRock
    67: Psychadelic -> Psychedelic
    69: Show Tunes -> Showtunes

I do *not* think we should change the others too.

  BTW I am wondering if there is a robust way to suppress
false positives reported by lintian.

  Alexander

P.S.
If there are no more opinions on this I will just go with
fixing the typo in genres.h .
