That's either impossible or inefficient. There are two issues here - 
Multiple multimedia frameworks or engines like xine and gstreamer. If I 
dont use xine, I wouldnt want a package to require it as a dependency 
just so as to satisfy my requirements for a gstreamer plugin. Also there 
are multiple programs. I dont want to install Amarok plugins if I dont 
use Amarok either. So a split makes sense for granularity.
