Since we are talking about debian, what bug numbers is involved and which package does it belong to. The nature of dynamic loaded libraries and package management system is that bugs will end up at the developer who manage the code that has the bug, rather than the developer who has users that get effected by the bug. It look like blame shifting but I don't see how you could have it any other way.

The other way would be that writers check for correctness of what they're writing with the impacted party (VLC). Distributions watch out and look for security holes in their packages such as libebml and then issues fixes as soon as possible. Security bug reporters behave more responsibly in that they talk authors of the package first, then go cash in their piece of fame.
