Got it.

Sounds like a simple solution. So to recap:
1) moblin-media package will contain a few samples (recommend: 2
pics, 1 song (short), 1 video)
2) when run, moblin-media will check for ~/media/ folder (any
reason to hide it with .media?)
2a) if no ~/media folder, then create ~/media/photo,
~/media/video, ~/media/music and copy over sample content
Question: If we were to create a separate moblin-media-sample-content
package, where would it install its contents? How would these get into
~/media for the installing user given that installation is always done
as root? (noob question)
