Bug#796272: RM: libav -- ROM; outdated, replaced by ffmpeg

[Andreas Cadhalpun]

Package: ftp.debian.org
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: Debian Multimedia Maintainers <pkg-multimedia-maintainers at lists.alioth.debian.org>

Hi,

the Debian Multimedia Maintainers team decided to switch
from Libav to FFmpeg [1].
The transition [2] is now done and thus the libav
source package can be removed.

The only remaining reverse dependency is libvtk6.1, which is not built
anymore from vtk6, but still remains in the archive, because the
uncoordinated vtk 6.1 -> 6.2 transition [3] broke some reverse dependencies.
There has been no progress in fixing that.

Please remove the libav source package from unstable, anyway.

Best regards,
Andreas
