Title:
  xbmc should be on official ubuntu repositories

Status in XBMC for Linux:

Status in “software-center” package in Ubuntu:

Bug description:
  following this question:
  https://answers.launchpad.net/xbmc/+question/177432

  hello,

  as i asked in AskUbuntu here: http://askubuntu.com/questions/69914/why-isnt-xbmc-media-center-in-ubuntu-software-center
  why isn't the XBoxMediaCenter (aka: xbmc) isn't in Ubuntu's official repos.? isn't it open source? 

  i realize Debian is the main source of the packages, but can't Ubuntu
  devs. add a package by themselves?

  i doubt the fact the xbmc maintainers can make the PPA suitable for
  Precise in time for 12.04 release.. and third, no, i don't like
  installing PPA's for brand new software, but for software updates..

  Since xbmc is fully open sourced, and the licensed issue is long
  behind us (as can be read here: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-
  bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=469397 and here:
  http://trac.xbmc.org/ticket/7983 ) i believe Ubuntu should add this
  (and maybe also Boxee) to the latest and greatest selection of
  software in the USC

  thanks in advance.

  Uri
