Bug Description

After running dist-upgrade today, I noticed that libav-tools was being held back. Upon investigation, I discovered it's because I had replaced the standard codecs and processors with their "-extra" versions. When LibAV was upgraded from 4:0.8.1 to 6:0.8.3, the "-extra" versions somehow didn't get included in the upgrade.

The libav-extra metapackage is missing:

steve@x1:~$ apt-cache policy libav-extra
N: Unable to locate package libav-extra

And, for example, note that the libavcodec-extra package is still the old 4:0.8.3 version:

steve@x1:~$ apt-cache policy libavcodec-extra-53
libavcodec-extra-53:
  Installed: 4:0.8.3.0ubuntu1
  Candidate: 4:0.8.3.0ubuntu1
  Version table:
 *** 4:0.8.3.0ubuntu1 0
        500 http://mirror.anl.gov/ubuntu/ quantal/universe amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

While the regular one is the new 6:0.8.3

steve@x1:~$ apt-cache policy libavcodec53
libavcodec53:
  Installed: (none)
  Candidate: 6:0.8.3-6ubuntu1
  Version table:
     6:0.8.3-6ubuntu1 0
        500 http://mirror.anl.gov/ubuntu/ quantal/main amd64 Packages

The example above holds for all libav*-extra packages.
