I'll send a follow-up with dd-list to debian-devel later.

As nobody did any porting of any of these packages over the last 3
years, I doubt that any porting will happen just because I file non-RC
bugs for them :) But if you prefer that, I'm going to just file bugs
with important severity. Not sure if I should also orphan the GStreamer
0.10 packages on the next uploads, might be the most sensible thing to
do though.
