alright i did a package a first package in my ppa. as i think h264 has
the highest chances for multiverse i started with a separate source
package only for h264, it's called opal-h264. but i should be rather
easy to reuse it for source packages of the other plugins as they maybe
won't go to a single repo.

for the packaging i basically grabbed the orginal opal tarball and the
patches from the opal ubuntu package (even if we don't need them right
now for the plugins, but who knows when we will). this way it should be
easy to stay in sync with opal from main. regarding the rules files i
did a new one from scratch with debhelper to keep it simple and to
compile only the stuff we really need. for reusing it for ilbc&co we
probably only need to change 3 lines in it (i've commented them
accordingly).

so far everything seems alright, as ekiga recognizes the new codec after
installing the binary, which i named like discussed
(libopal3.6.1-plugins-h264). but i haven't tested it with a call, so
this still needs some willing testers ;)

any feedback is highly welcome :) so just grad the source and the binaries at:

@Andres: they are at least very interesting, but i don't know how good
the actually are and if they will work on amd too. maybe Yannick has
some insight here.
