  voici un extrait de https://wiki.debian.org/DebianMultimedia/FAQ

2.5. There is 'Debian Multimedia Maintainers' and 'deb-multimedia.org'. So
what's the difference?  'Debian Multimedia Maintainers' is the team behind
the packaging of multimedia related packages distributed with Debian. In
other words, 'Debian Multimedia Maintainers' is us.

'deb-multimedia.org' (aka 'dmo' or 'd-m.o', formerly
'debian-multimedia.org') is a site that offers a repository of multimedia
packages as well. That site is maintained by an individual that is not
part of this team.

2.5.1. freedom A key difference between the 'deb-multimedia.org' and our
team is that we strive to maintain packages that are considered DFSG free
or get them to a state where they become DFSG free. Moreover, we aim at
proper integration of programs into the Debian system. In contrast to
official Debian packages, many packages from 'deb-multimedia.org' are
licensed under non-free terms that limit their use and are not freely
redistributable.

2.5.2. versioning To distinguish between our official packages and packages
from d-m.o, d-m.o adds an 'epoch' to the version number and uses a specific
revision counter. This means that once you installed a version from d-m.o,
package management software will always consider that version newer than
the official package - even when the official package is in actual fact
a newer version (but without the epoch).

2.6. Does the team coordinate package maintenance with dmo?  No. There
is no such coordination with the team and anyone in dmo. There have been
attempts to coordinate package maintenance with dmo, but the maintainer
of dmo has consistently expressed no interest in coordinating package
maintenance with anyone in the team.

2.8. Well, isn't deb-multimedia.org an official part of Debian?  This is
a common misconception in regards to what deb-multimedia.org is. Although
dmo is run by a Debian Developer and used to make use of the word "Debian"
and the Debian trademark, dmo is in fact not a part of Debian or affiliated
with Debian in any way. The fund-raising that happens there does not go
towards Debian. As far as we understand it, dmo is maintained by only
two people, neither of whom are a part of this team.
