Comment 3 for bug 571361

I think that may be a mischaracterization... I would describe it as "efficient" rather than "needlessly".

I can give users instructions to do this via the terminal:
___
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:stebbins/handbrake-snapshots
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install handbrake-gtk
___

Or This via the GUI:
___
System >
Administration >
Synaptic Package Manager >
Settings >
Repositories >
Other Software
Add
Paste
Add Source
Close
Reload
Quick Search for handbrake-gtk
Mark for Installation
Mark
Apply
Close
Close
___

Just Saying.
