@Reinhard: many thanks for explain the issue a bit more in detail, cause now i finally got it. better later than never ;) and BTW i think it was rather not enough information than misinformation that lead to my wrong assumptions ;)

@all: and yes with dpkg -i --force-depends i was also able to build the opal/ekiga stuff using the unstripped packages. so we don't really need "unstripped dev" packages for using the unstripped libs in packaging. but anyway we need a solution for the "dependency hell" right now, as you can only build packages by "corrupting" the package system and this is not good for PPAs and everything else beside chroot.

as for the rivalling of *ubuntu-restricted-extras and the dev packages, i would argue that even people who do some packaging or compiling should be able to do this on the same machine they use for their unfree multimedia experience. (meaning without a lot of package installation :)
