the problem with that approach is that it creates a hard dependency on
the libamr packages, which are totally unredistributable and cannot
possibly included into ubuntu proper.
What could be included would be perhaps the headers. If somone would
contribute a patch against libavcodec to load these libraries at
runtime, we wouldn't need to distribute the amr packages. Hint: The
altlinux guys do ship such a patch, but it needs cleanups.
