Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gnome-app-install

Up-to-date intrepid

When entering site on the internet with media content, you may need to install 
additional codecs.
What bothers me is this action, to buy from canonical store.
This new action may give wrong impression to some people about ubuntu.

I understand the restrictions in different laws on different countries, does 
this means medibuntu is obsolete?
You'll no longer can install appropriate codecs from repos. Only option is to 
buy through canonical.
I know this isn't true. But what is the message sent to new users, who thought 
it was free OS and free software?
There is a need to a mention both ways, medibuntu and canonical.store
And let the users decide the course of action.

gnome-app-install (0.5.8-0ubuntu1) intrepid; urgency=low

* AppInstall/activation.py, AppInstall/distros/Default.py:
- support a generic way to add a link button during codec
install into the UI for additional actions
* AppInstall/distros/Ubuntu.py:
- link to the codec page in the canonical shop
