I have the same feeling as you, and found this:
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.ubuntu.user/4389

"The mp3 codec was recently removed because of patent issues, we cannot
install it by default any more."

Which suggests that it was there before, and I started using Ubuntu
around 2 weeks before that message.
