Title:
  Remove freemix from precise archive

Status in “freemix” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  freemix is not functional due to dependency on gnome-video-thumbnailer
  which does not exist anymore, also when replacing it with an existing
  thumbnailer it does not work properly. E.g. I got it to crash with
  this by jut clicking around a bit:

  File "/usr/share/freemix/engine.py", line 102, in OnDynamicPad
      pad.link(self.colorspace.get_pad("sink"))
  gst.LinkError: <enum GST_PAD_LINK_WAS_LINKED of type GstPadLinkReturn>

  The package is of very bad quality installing files directly into /usr/share/pyshared, causing upgrade failures like bug 882297.
  The last upload was 2009, and upstream seems dead since then too.

  I propose to remove the binary and source package from precise.
  It has no rdepends and pretty low popcon vote.
