distro installs

[Len Ovens]

The last two distros seem to be the same. Did some digging with the Nov 18
version. I can install all the metas except:
ubuntustudio-generation
ubuntustudio-recording
ubuntustudio-video

The dependencies all boiled down to two packages... here are the snips
from aptitude:
-------------------8<---------------------------------

Libav codec library
libavcodec-extra-53 conflicts with libavcodec53
--\ The following actions will resolve this dependency:
  -> Cancel the installation of libavcodec-extra-53
  -> Remove libavcodec53 [4:0.7.2-1ubuntu1 (now, precise)]
----------------8<-------------------------------------

Libav utility library
libavutil-extra-51 conflicts with libavutil51
--\ The following actions will resolve this dependency:
  -> Cancel the installation of libavutil-extra-51
  -> Remove libavutil51 [4:0.7.2-1ubuntu1 (now, precise)]

------------------8<-----------------------------------

It appears that both libavcodec53 and libavutil51 need to be removed
before the extra versions are installed... or whatever depends on those
two libs needs to be made dependent on the extras. I am guessing that the
actual lib names end up being the same for both the normal and the "extra"
version.

Is there a way to install things that depend on the normal without those
two libs? I don't have a great understanding of the install process. Can a
dummy package be made that makes it look like they are installed? There
must be a proper way of doing this.
