Why is that stuff in -bad and not -ugly, when that's supposed to be the
point of -ugly?

"GStreamer Ugly Plug-ins is a set of plug-ins that have good quality and
correct functionality, but distributing them might pose problems. The
license on either the plug-ins or the supporting libraries might not be
how we'd like. The code might be widely known to present patent
problems."

This seems like something we should resolve upstream rather then
re-splitting things downstream.
