I'm surprised wireshark isn't there yet; I think it was approved
in PSARC 2007/334.  I wonder what the holdup is?  Likewise,
nano was approved in PSARC/2007/366.  So both of them
should probably show up eventually.

Media players...there's always the problem with codec licensing,
especially anything redistributable.  The separately purchasable
Fluendo codecs were supposed to help there, but it's a distinct
step to take.  Maybe if someone wrote a script to put them in
the right place and take care of any of the ugly workarounds
reported to be needed (symlinks to libraries or whatever), that
might make it less of a pain (assuming that most people think that
anything short of zero-effort gratification is a pain).
