[Bug 1709166] Re: Refresh Restricted Addons

[Daniel van Vugt]

Bryan,

I'm a little concerned about your assumption that:
  "va-driver-all is already brought in by gstreamer1.0-libav"

While that might be true, be careful to not confuse libav with libva.
They are very different things.

I would prefer that we explicitly pulled in va-driver-all, which is
required for gstreamer1.0-vaapi and other things to work.

Title:
  Refresh Restricted Addons

Status in ubuntu-restricted-addons package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  Ubuntu-desktop discussion link - https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-desktop/2017-August/005075.html
  More backstory, addons vs extras used to be universe vs multiverse but that hasn't been true for many releases.  The plan is to drop the -extras package.

  Plan for this package is to change from:
  adobe-flashplugin | flashplugin-installer  (drop)
  chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-extra
  gstreamer1.0-fluendo-mp3 (leave or have more discussion if it's needed with us pulling lame anyway)
  gstreamer1.0-libav
  gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad (drop)
  gstreamer1.0-plugins-ugly

  To:
  chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-extra
  gstreamer1.0-fluendo-mp3
  gstreamer1.0-libav
  gstreamer1.0-plugins-ugly
  gstreamer1.0-vaapi
