Binary package hint: vlc

Please make vlc [lucid] able to use VDPAU, ie. geared towards use with Nvidia's VDPAU hardware accelerated playback of Mpeg2/VC1/WMV3/H.264.
This would greatly enhance the ability to watch h264 (x264) videos and also other HD-videos with high bitrate.
I know there are PPA's around that offer vlc with vdpau support, but these are build against karmic, not lucid.
The vdpau support can be build at least from the git versions of vlc_1.1.
