Does something like this exist in Debian? A package which brings in restricted extras? A repository for all these extras? (without trusting some vague "unofficial" maintainer) It's so easy with the various buntus and Mint, I'm searching for similar functionality here. [FWIW I ONLY WANT TO USE DEBIAN] TIA

(without trusting some vague "unofficial" maintainer) For that matter, bear in mind that officially any package outside the “main” section is not part of Debian. Only packages that are free software (compliant with the DFSG) can be part of Debian. The packages in “non-free” which is a rough equivalent of Cannonical's “restricted” are not official part of Debian. I discourage using proprietary codecs because you give up part of your computing freedom. A betters solution is to request data in a format readable with free software. -- Do not eat animals, respect them as you respect people. https://duckduckgo.com/?q=how+to+(become+OR+eat)+vegan
