Thanks for the effort, sort of.

I understand that Debian's policy is Debian's policy, but in this case I 
find the restriction one not of my choice. Going from converting to 
either MPEG4 or MKV down to MKV is not more choice.

Thanks but no thanks. I'll stick with Deb Multimedia as I personally 
could give a rat's behind about mkv and with aac/mpeg4 they work out 
just fine for my Mac world.  Any chance you could provide a non-free 
version? If not, then I only have one request:

Please don't screw with the packaging priority so I have to reinstall 
Deb Multimedia by hand each time, instead of a simple apt-get upgrade. 
It's never wise to pee on your user base.

I imagine you will ignore this request and I'll have to just keep 
reinstalling it or I'll bug Christian Marillat to make sure there is a 
workaround.

- Sincerely,

Marc J. Driftmeyer
