If an ogg support package instantly provides ogg capability in existing media players, without any further configuration; no further GUI is required and it can go directly in user/multimedia. > filesystems.

No, it's not wagging the dog. If a user needs to open a terminal, create a configuration file and run something from the command line; I *strongly* believe it's outside the scope of the Application Manager. Since there's a requirement to use the terminal to configure it, it is no extra step to require the user to use apt-get to install it. If there's a GUI configuration, and it can be started either manually or automatically without having to open a terminal; it can go in "user/system" (for WebDav and OpenAFS) and be visible in the Application Manager. > There needs to be at least one category visible (sans red-pill) in the > application manager for system enhancements which do not have > something DIRECTLY visible to the user. I agree: as long as the user is not REQUIRED to use terminal to do anything with it.
