It has been planned to remove the libav source package from unstable,
once the transition to ffmpeg is fully finished.
Unfortunately this transition is currently blocked by two packages:
 * freerdp needs a new upstream version, but the maintainers are
   unresponsive. (#788557)
 * vtk6 still has old binaries using Libav in testing, because
   the uncoordinated vtk6.1 -> vtk6.2 transition broke some
   of its reverese dependencies. (#793621)

Help with any of these would be much appreciated.

If you just want to file a removal bug: I think the libpostproc
source package can go already. ;)

Best regards,
Andreas
