Re: anyone know what these 2 xubuntu packages have?

From Wikipedia: The Ubuntu Restricted Extras is a metapackage and has the following dependencies:

    flashplugin-installer
    gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg
    gstreamer0.10-fluendo-mp3
    gstreamer0.10-pitfdll
    gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad
    gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly
    gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad-multiverse
    gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly-multiverse
    icedtea6-plugin
    libavcodec-extra-52
    libmp4v2-0
    ttf-mscorefonts-installer
    unrar

Several of these dependencies are included indirectly, through another metapackage called Ubuntu Restricted Addons.

The Xubuntu ones are wrappers of these (a note in the repo says "You should not install this package directly, but instead install the ubuntu-restricted-extras package.")
