The standalone 0.81 and 0.9.0 presentation playback players were bundled in bbb-playback-presentation, so they landed on every server by default. Move them into a new, optional bbb-playback-presentation-legacy package so operators install them only when they need to play recordings from those eras.

  • bbb-playback-presentation no longer stages playback/presentation/{0.81,0.9.0}
  • new build/packages-template/bbb-playback-presentation-legacy/ ships those two players and their nginx redirect; it declares Replaces: bbb-playback-presentation (<< this version) so dpkg hands the files over without a conflict, and its postinst explains how to recover if an upgrade transition fails
  • the legacy-only /playback/presentation/playback.html redirect moves out of presentation.nginx into the new package's nginx
  • register the package in package-names.inc.sh and add a GitLab CI build job; it is intentionally left out of the bigbluebutton meta-package, so it is not part of a default install

The 2.3 React player (bbb-playback) and recordings from BBB 2.0+ are unaffected.
