And splitting out those nasty spy-on-me-plugins.
I consider this as a temporary measure until I get around upgrading my
sarge machines. The whole debian-mulitmedia.org is outside of debian and
'use at own risk'. I always thought, dependencies would take care about
not breaking my system. I consider Christian's packages as a 'bonus' to
debian, so it's not mission critical if those packages break (fingers
crossed)
