** Description changed: - It is very convenient to install all packages that are restricted due to patent/copyright issues in one command using - sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras - However, this also installs non-free packages like - flashplayer - gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad-multiverse - libfaac0 + It is very convenient to install all packages that are restricted due to patent/copyright issues in one command using + sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras + However, this also installs non-free packages like + flashplayer + unrar which for some people are not desired. My suggestion is to create a meta-package which depends on a subset of packages that ubuntu-restricted-extras depends on: only those that have a FOSS license. It can be called for example ubuntu-restricted-foss- extras. This will bring more convenience to people who are more strict about the softwares on their system.
