You shouldn't remove it, you should change it to <a href="http://www.deb-multimedia.org/" rel="nofollow">http://www.deb-multimedia.org/</a> .<p>It's cute how debian thinks you should remove it completely (it sounds like they are insulted actually).<p>There are plenty of packages in deb-multimedia that are not in debian, like mythtv, avidemux, xbmc, cinelerra.<p>And some are simply better in deb-multimedia like mplayer which is compiled with many more formats then are available in the stock debian version.<p>Christian Marillat should get a huge amount of credit for keeping this running, even with all the flak he gets from debian sometimes.
No, change unofficial debian-multimedia repo to deb-multimedia.<p>You probably had a reason to use debian-multimedia, its packages have a lot better codec support (amongst other things) than the mainline, so you probably still have a reason to use deb-multimedia. It's the first thing I install on new debian systems and has been for years.<p>I'm not sure why the debian guys decided to get pissy about it, as far as I can tell the guy is doing them and their users a huge favour.
It seems like deb(ian)-multimedia was asked to stop using "debian" as a part of the domain name [1]. But I don't see why they decided to let the domain expire instead of setting up a redirect.<p>[1] <a href="http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/pkg-multimedia-maintainers/2012-May/thread.html#26678" rel="nofollow">http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/pkg-multimedia-main...</a>
Doesn't apt verify the signature of packages before it installs them? If so, then the new domain owner shouldn't be able to do anything malicious because (s)he cannot sign the packages.
