Comment 2 for bug 126158

This does - it's now a part of ubuntu-restricted-extras source package.

Unfortunately, this is an empty package at the moment - apt isnt installing recommends by default, for universe/metapackages, only packages in main. This will be fixed before tribe 3. (either, it gets hardcoded back to dependancies, or apt gets fixed, to cope with metapackages in universe or multiverse)
