non-free should just work

[Tim Schmidt]

I congratulate you guys on the effort spent supporting the free
codecs.  By the way, anyone doing anything with Dirac?

Anyway, I do think the free Java issue is one worth spending some time
on as well (if only for projects like OpenOffice and Eclipse -- I
believe Red Hat already has this working with GCJ, but a plugin would
be excellent as well.  This is definately post-hoary stuff though).

Any opinions on the desktop-nonfree meta package idea?  It seems
something like that might save people some trouble (both on the user
and support sides of the fence).
