i didn't do much on the package, because i thought it would be easier if
we just waited for the next release that has the license issues fixed.
(i'm not so experienced in excluding and modifying files in the orig.tar
package, so i'd rather not)

there is no release schedule for gmerlin-avdecoder; however, given that
debian is now frozen, no new packages enter the queue anyhow, so no
delay should come from gmerlin-avdecoder not being availabe yet.
