Bug Description

Bug Description:
This came to my attention after noone noticed that the Fluendo Codecs removed a lot of paid apps. The main reason for this seems to be 2 fold if you install the package via apt-get you get a nice warning if however you use USC you don't, if you happened to install Ubutnu-restricted-extras you might not notice that Fluendo codecs got removed and assume that they are still installed.

OS:
64bit Precise

Steps To Reproduce:
1. install 7wonder4 package
2. instal Fluendos codec pack
3. Now try and open 7wonders4
4. now try the same thing again only use apt-get

Expected Results:
I expect to see a Warning along a similiar line to the apt-get warning x will be removed because y is being installed.
