GStreamer used to have this issue, so there was work that, when GStreamer notices that it requires some codec that is not available, it will pass control to the distribution package manager in order to find (if possible) those missing packages. At the same time, a dialog box would explain the legal issues. For now, I think it would be better if it was possible to package those special codecs in a separate package, so that one can install on top of the official Ubuntu Ekiga packages. Otherwise, you would get users having a custom Ekiga package, and there would be no support for the official package. Is it possible to package those codecs in a separate package? Another issue we do not know yet is which SIP services are affected by this. Is there info?
