I thought about this, but there are a couple of packages depending on it as
alternative and I felt reluctant, but on a second view, it looks like
mp3-decoder is not used consistently and currently serves no role.
$ for field in Depends Recommends Suggests Provides; do grep-aptavail

tracker
Package: nemo
Suggests: eog, evince | pdf-viewer, totem | mp3-decoder, xdg-user-dirs
Package: mpg321
Provides: mp3-decoder, mpg123
Package: opencubicplayer
Provides: audio-mixer, mp3-decoder, mp3-encoder, x-audio-mixer
Package: mpg123
Provides: mp3-decoder, mpg123-oss-3dnow
Package: vlc
Provides: mp3-decoder
Package: vlc-nox
Provides: mp3-decoder
Would there be an objection to remove "mp3-decoder" from the Policy's list of
virtual packages ?
By the way, there are more open bugs related to virtual packages, and some of
them probably do not require extensive knowledge. Any volunteer ?
Have a nice Sunday,
