@dpfaffenbauer yes, https://deb-multimedia.org/ has been there already for a very long time and quite popular - but yes, if you look at the website you can be scared a bit 😅
'deb-multimedia.org' (aka 'dmo' or 'd-m.o', formerly 'debian-multimedia.org') is a site that offers a repository of multimedia packages as well. That site is maintained by an individual that is not part of this team.
👍 didn't say that it's official - alternatives are welcome
I don't have any strong opinions here. But reading between the lines on the FAQ it seems they recommend against using it.
I'd go for it now in lack of alternatives. For v2 we can think of providing an additional flavor which doesn't include most of the optional dependencies like ImageMagick ... this would be then an alternative if you don't trust 3rd party repos and you can add/complile the additional stuff you need for your custom images.
did you check who is maintaining this repository? Is it properly maintained? is it secure? does it get updates in the future too? like in a year or two?
