I think libmpeg2 and libmpeg3 are two distinct packages (2 and 3 are the mpeg version and part of the library name, not the package version) and yes, those probably don't need to be there UNLESS you are a developer and use them -- but if you only want libs that are required by installed programs, then you most likely shouldn't have them in world.
