In that regard, it may not even be wise to distribute ffmpeg/libavcodec/xine/vlc/libdecss in Extras-*
Most people don't care about legality of plugins. The only problem with the legality of the plugins would be its inclusion into Maemo Extras as you pointed out. And for most people who are new to the platform they shouldn't be sent out of extras. For everyone else they could just easily add a VLC repository (if they were to offer one) while waiting for whatever alternate solution there is.

"Meamo!" sounds like what Zorro would say to catherine zeta jones... after she slaps him for looking at her dirtily...
