Frankly, this doesn't "solve" anything. First of all,
"deb-multimedia.org" is confusingly similar to the former name,
because only two letters are dropped. Moreover, the archive itself is
still called 'debian-multimedia'. This means that users that use a
mirror such as http://debian.informatik.uni-erlangen.de/debian-multimedia/
as advised remain confused. As shown earlier in this thread, such an
URL does make people think this was an official Debian resource, which
it is not.
