           Summary: Totem Mozilla plug-in should be separated into its own
                    package
           Product: Ubuntu
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: i386
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: totem-xine
        AssignedTo: seb128 at ubuntu.com
        ReportedBy: atheoi at gmail.com

The totem-xine package (and IIRC also totem-gstreamer) does not 'play nice' with
Firefox; wheras other programs with plugins allow the user the option to install
(or not install) that portion separately, e.g.

vlc has mozilla-plugin-vlc
mplayer has mozilla-mplayer
openoffice.org has mozilla-openoffice.org

totem-xine (as of 1.2.0-0ubuntu3) does not have such an equivalent.  You either
have totem-xine with the mozilla plugin or you don't have totem-xine.  This
would not be so annoying if totem wasn't part of the ubuntu-desktop package.  I
thus humbly suggest that Totem's mozilla plugin be spun-off into its own
package, say "mozilla-totem" or "mozilla-plugin-totem".

Based on my cursory understanding of packages, at least these following files
should be moved out of the totem-xine (and also if they're in totem-gstreamer)
package to the new one I suggested:

/usr/lib/mozilla-firefox
/usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/plugins
/usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/plugins/libtotem_mozilla.so
/usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/plugins/libtotem_mozilla.la
/usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/plugins/libtotem_mozilla.a
/usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/plugins/libtotem_mozilla.xpt
