Hey Bryan! The debdiff looks good. But as per Sebastien's post on the
mailing thread, could you maybe take a closer look into why we actually
pulled in gstreamer1.0-fluendo-mp3 in the first place (when it got
added)? I'd also like to be extra sure we're not breaking any workflow
by accident.

If after that we still see no precautions I'll gladly sponsor this
change.

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.

  Ubuntu- Plan for this package is to change from:
  adobe-flashplugin | flashplugin-installer  (drop)
  chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-extra
  gstreamer1.0-fluendo-mp3 (remove as we are pulling mp3 decode support in -ugly anyway)
  gstreamer1.0-libav
  gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad (drop)
  gstreamer1.0-plugins-ugly

  To:
  chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-extra
  gstreamer1.0-libav
  gstreamer1.0-plugins-ugly
  gstreamer1.0-vaapi (added for video acceleration by default on Intel)

  
  For Lubuntu we are just dropping adobe-flashplugin (which leaves it with just libdvdread4).
