GnomeMeeting is indeed a fine piece of software and is already packaged for
Debian.

Real: this is proprietary software and should not be included in Debian.
Besides being proprietary, the company has a long track of hurting standards

Mbone / Multicast: This is Internet core infrastructure configuration.
GNU/Linux readily supports them, but it is up to the providers and technical
consortiums to spread it.

FFMpeg is a great piece of software, I've used it already for research
purposes.

I haven't yet checked how readable the Debian packagers docs are. Raphael,
can you please set up a list of important links to them on the Wiki? Thx :-)
