looks like debian doesn't ship packages either.. that doesn't need to

i think it'd be great to use it as preferred codec.. is there by any
chance the possibility to add the codec check to gnomemeeting binaries
disregarding the currently installed lib.. like same GM will use h.263
if it's in the openh323 and don't use it if it's not.. (without
changing the installed binaries)?
