Yes, but your point about google can lead to untrusted sources. And 
debian-multimedia often conflicts with the official packages. While I 
like the packages in debian-multimedia, I find I can't use them because 
they cause problems. This may be less of an issue when you're running 
the current stable release but I run testing.

The regular developers have enough problems keeping the packages from 
conflicting without having to add in packages that must be compiled with 
incompatible options. While I appreciate the job Christian Marillat is 
doing, debian-multimedia isn't for everyone.
