well it's not *that* easy as it sounds; it's not just about a yes/no
dialog and downloading a couple files.

it needs to add extra repositories (multiverse and maybe plf),
download/install the packages via synaptic, then configure them.

and since most users don't have broadband at home, a downloadable
patch would be nice too.

and before that, there's the tecnical decision of backends (gstreamer
+extras or totem-xine or what?), and the legal/political decision of
doing this or playing safe (and screwing the user).
