When Ubuntu registrates the packages installed within a day after
installation (anonymous of course :)) it can produce a list of
'popular basics'
Directly after installing or running the live-cd the user can be
presented to a list of apt-get references to this top-25.
This is pure statistical. No persuasion from the side of Ubuntu.
How can Ubuntu be held responsible?

1) I know that you'd do it, if you thought it was possible. (I already
said that myself), but that was not the question.
2) I wasn't talking about shipping the mp3 software. (See post above)

You don't *have to* answer the question :), but your reaction "just
accept that it can't be done" wasn't much educating :)
The post was meant to be informational to the communitie.

That one doesn't ship it, I understand
That triggers: "linking is as bad as shipping"
(
off-topic:
But I understood that one may have mp3 support as long as you don't as
money for your software.
)
