Is there a flag required to gain this functionality?  If not, the 
functionality does not APPEAR to provide by default. 

If I have a fresh install of ubuntu, add the mediabuntu and virtualbox 
repositories, and install w32codecs and virtual box with an 'apt-get 
install w32codecs VirtualBox' from the command line it appears to 
download one package and then after that package is complete it begins 
downloading the next package. 

Does this help at all?

To be or not to be, that is the question
                2b || !2b
(0b10)*(0b1100010) || !(0b10)*(0b1100010)
        0b11000100 || !0b11000100
        0b11000100 || 0b00111011
               0b11111111
        255, that is the answer.
