Because it's not ready for unstable.
gstreamer-plugins build-deps on 38 packages, at least 6 of which have
constantly changing ABIs (and some, APIs). Because of this, it's not
clear to me that it would ever have a chance of making it into testing
without a lot of luck, and I'm making sure that the (non-DD) maintainer
has the flexibility to drastically change the packaging if necessary.
