While the deliberate inclusion of said media support is nice, we still have technical (build dependency of a main package depending on libs in universe) and possible legal gotchas. [0] The only reason they're enabled by default anyway is because their sources are distributed as part of vlc's. It's quite nasty and something the MOTUMedia team will attempt to finish correcting for Edgy. Thanks, - -- Daniel T.
