Restricted extra/addons

[Daniel van Vugt]

Oh, I see, sorry.

gstreamer1.0-vaapi depends on:  libgstreamer-plugins-bad1.0-0
which is not "the bad plugins" package:  gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad
but it is an obviously-related support library still.

I'm working in this area lately so will see how feasible it is to loosen 
that dependency.
