BBC enabled SWF Verification which disables the BBC plugin

[David Nielsen]

Binary package hint: totem

As this is effectively DRM'ed content which now relies on proprietary closed technologies to view I believe it would be the best interest of Ubuntu to either remove the plugin or convince the BBC to allow access to it again.
