http://wiki.debian.org/MultimediaCodecs
Could a brief paragraph be added to tell the users why they might want to
use the *-extra-* packages?
It is not really clear, because:
* the *-extra-* packages are in main.
* the long descriptions don't contain anything that I can see (e.g., looking
at libavcodec-extra-53).
Also, it would be good to explain why (in terms of codecs, not regarding
packaging conflicts or whatever :)) a user might want to grab a package from
Christian's repository and not from Debian.
Regards,
Rogério.

Shouldn't this be avoided? Shouldn't Debian communicate the contrary on all pages? I just finished downgrading all of the packages that I had linked to debian-multimedia.org, and it was a painful and slow process. Not something I would wish on anyone. It started because I was innocently trying to install VLC and some other video software, and I ran into package conflicts with GNOME and several other packages. So could we update the first link and remove the reference debian-multimedia.org? That would save newbie users like me from the pain of having to figure out why an innocent package in Stable conflicts with the entire GUI of the OS.
