Re: reasons for split of libavcodec54 and libavcodec-extra-54, missing codecs and a metapackage.



Hi,

Possibly we can simplify even further:

   * Have package libavcodec-extra-NN provide virtual libavcodec-extra

   * Let GPLv2 packages conflict against libavcodec-extra (i.e. not
     replace but complement existing suggests/recommends/depends).

How does that sound?

This sounds good, except that the virtual package needs another name, because libavcodec-extra is actually a real package [1].

What do you think about libavcodec-gpl3?

Best regards,
Andreas
