Uh! I didn't see those go through, I'm surprised... My rationale was
exposed here:
https://lists.debian.org/debian-lts/2016/02/msg00014.html
Basically, ffmpeg was marked as unsupported, and matroska/libebml were
seen as related as they are a founding block, like ffmpeg/libav, for
media applications: if libav or ffmpeg is unsupported, basically
everything else falls apart and matroska support is somewhat less
relevant.
So I would say that matroska/libebml is dependent on libav support. But
I'm no multimedia team expert, others may have more competent advice.
