No, but I might make it a little easier for Debian newbies to find it in the first place. Something like a simple script that people could use to install the missing multimedia applications/codecs that almost everyone wants. Those who don't want them of course wouldn't need or want to use such a script, but having one available and make it plain that it was available would stop a lot of people bitching about Debian not coming with them in the first place. Somehow I think this issue has been beaten to death already, but it was before my time. I understand the legal issues involved, but they don't apply where I live, at least not yet. > > Being a Debian associated, but not really an Official Debian repository. > The same goes for volatile.

Personally I don't use that repo, so I don't know that much about it. Thank you for informing me.
