I'm not having any problems with it but I would like some advice.

Like is Marillat pretty much obsolete right now and rendered useless by freecontrib and plf? I don't much like installing none Ubuntu specific packages and I only use it for movie and music related things. It's been there seance the first version of Ubuntu and if it is no longer needed I would love to kill it off.

Is there even a difference between freecontrib and plf and should I kill one off? I don't see a difference.

What exactly is extras-staging and backports-staging and is it safe?

Any other suggested cleanups or additions?

I'd say get rid of marillat. I don't know about freecontrib. The -staging repos are where packages get tested first, so if you're not looking to help test them, don't use these.
