Public bug reported: The primary difference between ubuntu-restricted-extras and lubuntu- restricted-extras is that the Lubuntu package includes chromium-codecs- ffmpeg-extra. That makes sense since until Lubuntu 13.10, Lubuntu shipped Chromium by default. On the other hand, new Lubuntu 13.10 won't come with Chromium and there are plenty of Ubuntu and Ubuntu GNOME users who use Chromium too.
I think it would be better if ubuntu-restricted-extras would depend on chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-extra and Lubuntu can just point to that instead. (I think xubuntu-restricted-extras would be similarly obsolete.) However, both chromium-codecs-ffmpeg and chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-extra depend on chromium-browser. Please change that to a suggests instead.
