When recording video, Ogg Theora files should have extension .ogv

[Fabián Rodríguez]

Binary package hint: cheese

Cheese records Ogg Theora videos as files with the older .ogg extension.

From wikipedia:

"The term ‘Ogg’ is commonly used to refer to audio file format Ogg Vorbis, that is, Vorbis-encoded audio in the Ogg container. Previously, the .ogg file extension was used for any content distributed within Ogg, but as of 2007, the Xiph.Org Foundation requests that .ogg be used only for Vorbis due to backwards-compatibility concerns. The Xiph.Org Foundation decided to create a new set of file extensions and media types to describe different types of content such as .oga for audio, .ogv for video (including Theora), and .ogx for applications."

Bug #201291 tracks similar fixes to ther packages that generate or act upon og* files.

Cheese is also listed as affected on bug 201291, so this is a dupe. The issue has been fixed.
