Yes! the server is back online :)
Thanks for the heads up. At a personal level, I did remove Deb-MM from my Squeeze repo list about 18 months ago when I experienced some conflicts with ffmpeg (mythtv) and started building the libs from source.
The bikes are cool though (on the new site) .... if we could only get them through apt-get install <my_fav_bike> .... that would make my day :)
Is this problem repository configuration distributed in a default install of Debian any version?

No. This repository was a boon for Debian users before mplayer and several media codecs were available in the main Debian repository. Subsequently, the requirement of this repository has come into question, but there seems to be some merit to the packages from this repository… (I have not found the need to use them).
The discussion on their need with the maintainer of the repository is here: http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/pkg-multimedia-maintainers/2012-May...

No. It was 'misunderstood' that debian-multimedia.org is offical Debian project by many and it was added. It created lots of confusion and breakage to many.
Debian has now good multimedia support, anyway.
