How does that sound?This sounds good, except that the virtual package needs another name, because libavcodec-extra is actually a real package [1].I don't see a problem in conflicting both with virtual provisions of the package and the real package - as the latter seems to me to provide nothing beyond pulling in latest of those same virtual provisions.
Indeed, that's no problem. Best regards, Andreas
