I suggest adding a get-orig-source rule to debian/rules which describes
all steps required to produce the tarball in Debian, including the
stripping of the codecs. Users can easily rebuild the tarball  his way
and remove the stripping part if they like.

Does this mean that there is a chance for lame and xvid to enter the
archive, too?
