I'm sorry but I'm lost ....

I have always thought that the Marillat (debian-multimedia) repository was 
because some stupid problems with the codecs. But, I have to addmitt that I 
don't have it very clear.

Some of you could point me to some place where it's explained? Or some one 
could explain me why we have two different repositories (by now incompatibles 
I think ..). Because I made a bug to the people that I thought maintain the 
package (pkg-multimedia-maintainers)


Thanks in advance.

Leo
