Please drop 56MB off gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad

[Dimitri John Ledkov]

gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad has a lot of dependnecies everything from gtk2 to libopencv and etc. In total it takes about 56MB on the ubuntu touch images. Can we please dropgstreamer1.0-plugins-bad from ubuntu-touch seeds?

At the moment in the seeds it says:
"* gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad # bad is needed because of h264parse and faad"

Maybe we can split those two into a separate package? Can gstreamer1.0-hybris be used instead?
Also note that h264 and faad are patent encumbered and thus we have avoiding shipping them by default on our media.

IMHO the plugins we need should be in -good (upstream, I'd be seriously loathe to do any more Ubuntu plugin moves). -bad isn't going to go to main, so the dependencies you mentioned ought to be separated somehow too & also will have to go to -good anyway if the Mir stuff goes there. It's quite a longstanding discussion, but jhodapp and rsalveti should be working on getting their stuff into gst upstream.

Can you point to the TB resolution about avoiding shipping these things?
