There are a number of plugins available from the rarewares repository[1] and perhaps other third party repositories which provide the only convient way I'm aware of to access a number of media formats (bonk, wavepack, lossless audio, shorten, various DVD audio formats). While I do not expect debian to support these packages, I do ask that the wider ecosystem be taken into consideration.
