Balance this with the convenience, useful for most users, to not have to hunt for codecs/plugins, install one package and be sure the multimedia playing troubles are solved.
"not have to hunt for" => either
1) *all* plugins, evar, are in the one package, innit OR 2) each plugin is appropriately named (and perhaps we need some extra Provides: or maybe a package that pulls in appropriate ones via Requires:, so that one can indeed install "DVD support" and get libdvd{read,nav,css} pulled in, the last of them should of course be optional).
