** Description changed:

+ == SRU Justification ==
+ 
+ [Impact]
+ 
+ Not recollecting the full history but at least in 22.04/Jammy LTS Ubuntu
+ supported access to DNLA services for example via rhythmbox through
+ grilo. At some point (before 24.04 Noble LTS) this was disabled (compile
+ time configuration) upstream support was expected to have gone away.
+ This changed now and support has been turned on again in Plucky.
+ 
+ This leaves a gap where upgrading from Jammy to Noble regresses user-
+ experience. That could be avoided by simply restoring the configuration
+ to what is was in Jammy.
+ 
+ I double checked the setup and found that Jammy had the exact same
+ packaging as it is being proposed. The split of grilo-plugins-0.3-base
+ (main) and grilo-plugins-0.3-extra (universe) did exist and also the
+ recommends for dleyna-server by grilo-plugins-0.3-extra.
+ 
+ [Test Plan]
+ 
+ This requires a DLNA source (eg. minidlna) being present in the local
+ network. With the current version of grilo-plugins-*-extra this will not
+ be detected when starting rhythmbox. With the proposed changes it will
+ find the DLNA source.
+ 
+ I did apply the proposed diff to the current grilo-plugins in Noble,
+ compiled them and was able to access my DLNA music files again.
+ 
+ [Where Problems Could Occur]
+ 
+ This will likely re-instate some/all previously known issues with DLNA
+ support.
+ 
+ In my case there is a very minor issue that the self-made NAS which also
+ runs the DLNA service shows up twice. But that is because its exposed
+ through a .local and made-up local domain. All my fault here.
+ 
+ Otherwise this does not really change code, merely modify the configure
+ run before compiling to enable support as it was before.

+ --- Original Description --
+ 
  The dLeyna grilo plugin was disabled because the dleyna-server package was 
dropped in Ubuntu after being deprecated upstream.
  However dleyna now has a new maintainer upstream and is maintained in Ubuntu 
at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dleyna, so it can be enabled again.
  
  This will be part of the grilo-plugins-0.3-extra package (universe),
  like before it was dropped.
