Bug Description

Binary package hint: brasero

In 2.27.4-0ubuntu1:

Function `brasero_video_options_new' implicitly converted to pointer at brasero-project.c:1366
Function `brasero_drive_properties_new' implicitly converted to pointer at brasero-project.c:1379

Our automated build log filter[1] detected the problem(s) above that will
likely cause your package to segfault on 64-bit architectures (where the
size of a pointer is greater than the size of an integer.)

This is often due to a missing function prototype definition.
For more information, see [2].

Since use of implicitly converted pointers is always (eventually
and/or itermittantly) fatal to the application, they are errors.
Please correct them for your next upload.

Removing assignment. We will get this fix from upstream if they accept it. If we start to see crashes from this and upstream won't take the patch, we can re-assign the bug and apply the patch,
