Override ubuntu-restricted-extras with a newer version, installing more codecs

[John Dong]

This is a wishlist request for Gutsy:

We should bump up the version number a bit on ubuntu-restricted-extras, and add dependencies for w32codecs and libdvdcss2, k3b's mp3 support, and any other additional codec-related extras.

This way, as soon as someone enables Medibuntu and has u-r-e installed (or the Gutsy auto-codec-installer tries to install the metapackage), these additional codecs get automatically pulled in.

This would be a great step towards more automagic codec enablement and will further deter people from resorting to arbitrary installer scripts.

Hi,

I don't think we'll add this package. It doesn't seem to be a good idea to me to override yet another ubuntu package.
People still report some medibuntu bugs to ubuntu even if the package description contains a big warning ("do not file bugs on ubuntu, file them on our bugtracker instead!'), so I don't want to introduce more confusion.
