Nicolas, totem-plugin-arte 0.8.5~pre-2 does not have "Enhances: totem",
and totem 2.31.6-0ubuntu1 has neither "Recommends: totem-plugin-arte"
nor "Suggests: totem-plugin-arte". For that reason, totem-plugin-arte
does not show up as an add-on on the screen for Totem. So there is a
very easy way for you to help more people know that totem-plugin-arte
exists: mark it as "Enhances: totem".

The same applies to evolution-rss (which should, but doesn't, have
"Enhances: evolution") and epiphany-extensions (which should, but
doesn't, have "Enhances: epiphany-browser"). Ubuntu Software Center is
by far the most visible interface that Recommends:, Suggests:, and
Enhances: have ever had, and therefore we're going to discover lots of
cases like this where relationships should have been marked but were
not.

Showing people packages that they might be interested in, without
swamping them with packages that are meaningless to them, is a difficult
problem. In the particular case of watching Arte.tv, that is not (or
should not be) a technical task, but it's not an advanced task either.
So I don't think making a distinction between "technical" and "advanced"
would help us here.

Many useful packages are said "technical" and not displayed by default
