No, I believe you didn't understand my response. :)

1) There's no "libmux" string in that diff.gz _at all_. No string, no
reference, no possible way of stating that libmux is associated with
libvlc0-dev from the Debian packaging that Ubuntu inherits.

2) In 7.04:
crimsun at garnish:~$ apt-file search libmux
vlc-nox: usr/lib/vlc/mux/libmux_asf_plugin.so
vlc-nox: usr/lib/vlc/mux/libmux_avi_plugin.so
vlc-nox: usr/lib/vlc/mux/libmux_dummy_plugin.so
vlc-nox: usr/lib/vlc/mux/libmux_mp4_plugin.so
vlc-nox: usr/lib/vlc/mux/libmux_mpjpeg_plugin.so
vlc-nox: usr/lib/vlc/mux/libmux_ogg_plugin.so
vlc-nox: usr/lib/vlc/mux/libmux_ps_plugin.so
vlc-nox: usr/lib/vlc/mux/libmux_wav_plugin.so
crimsun at garnish:~$ apt-file search libmux_ts
crimsun at garnish:~$

In other words, I'm not sure where you're pulling the information for
libmux_ts.a, but it's surely not from 7.04's repositories. And since we
only actively develop 7.04, the previous releases are not relevant here.

Check your sources.list(5), perhaps? [Again, all repos not hosted by
Ubuntu mirrors _and_ not 7.04 are irrelevant.]

So please file a wishlist bug using Launchpad to include said file.

Again, Ubuntu inherits the Debian packaging. Your question regarding
original intent is better posed in that forum.

There is _no_ "description stuff" in the official 7.04 libvlc0-dev
package that refers to any "libmux".
