i am all for "multimedia" category (which i proposed few times already
but didn't have enough time to select/move all the packages).  we should
first identify all the packages which are to be moved from graphics,
audio, misc, x11 and probably more first and decide how do we proceed.
the amount of packages will be quite huge, do we want to lose all the
history?  would it be too complicated to move the packages manually on
the fs?
