Could a brief paragraph be added to tell the users why they might want to
use the *-extra-* packages?

It is not really clear, because:

* the *-extra-* packages are in main.
* the long descriptions don't contain anything that I can see (e.g., looking
  at libavcodec-extra-53).

Also, it would be good to explain why (in terms of codecs, not regarding
packaging conflicts or whatever :)) a user might want to grab a package from
Christian's repository and not from Debian.


Regards,
Rogério.
