Yeah, I agree. I see from fluendo's website that they aim to have a 1.0
compatible release available from November, which works for us.

Checking the rdepends list (for main), it seems that most should be done
upstream:

  ? bluez-gstreamer
  * brasero   
  * brasero-cdrkit
  * empathy   
  o finch
  * gnome-media
  * gstreamer0.10-alsa
  * gstreamer0.10-gconf
  * gstreamer0.10-gnonlin
  * gstreamer0.10-nice
  * gstreamer0.10-plugins-base
  * gstreamer0.10-plugins-base-apps
  * gstreamer0.10-plugins-good
  * gstreamer0.10-pulseaudio
  * gstreamer0.10-tools
  * gstreamer0.10-x
  * libbrasero-media3-1
  * libcanberra-gstreamer
  * libclutter-gst-1.0-0
  * libdmapsharing-3.0-2
  * libevolution
  * libfarstream-0.1-0
  * libgnome-media-profiles-3.0-0
  * libgstreamer-plugins-base0.10-0
  * libgstreamer0.10-0-dbg
  * libgstreamer0.10-dev
  o libpurple0
  * libqtwebkit4
  * libreoffice-core
  * librhythmbox-core6
  * libtelepathy-farstream2
  * libtotem0 
  * libubuntuoneui-3.0-1
  * libwebkitgtk-1.0-0
  * libwebkitgtk-3.0-0
  * phonon-backend-gstreamer
  o pidgin
  * pitivi
  * python-gst0.10
  * python-gst0.10-dbg
  * rhythmbox
  * rhythmbox-plugins
  o shotwell
  * totem
  - ubiquity-frontend-gtk
  - unity-lens-music

pidgin: https://developer.pidgin.im/ticket/15299 
shotwell: http://redmine.yorba.org/issues/5548
bluez-gstreamer: spotted upstream that perhaps they are integrating this
                 into gstreamer itself?
ubiquity-frontend-gtk, unity-lens-music: Ubuntu local, will have to port
                                         ourselves

So yeah, seems doable.

Thanks,
