`ogg' format and `libtheora' codec are one of the well known free and
open source codecs which
could be used by video team. I believe it is "important" to Debian,
because I can imagine video-team
trying to setup streams during conferences, trying to use (not yet)
released squeeze distribution and
causing undesired set of issues added to the ones that already happen.
Of course, users [0] could also
complain when their setups break, nor to talk on the set of scripts
people might run producing the wrong
behaviour, inclding derivatives from Debian and having to spend quite
a while to dig where the problem is,
which it already happen to me today.

Sure, feel free to downgrade severity if you find it appropriate.

Thanks. Version in `experimental' seems to fix the problem.

No, just `experimental' fixes it.
