Note that psychopy is the only reverse dependency of avbin:
% dak rm -Rn avbin
Will remove the following packages from unstable:
avbin | 7-1.4 | source
libavbin-dev | 7-1.4 | amd64, armel, armhf, hurd-i386, i386,
kfreebsd-amd64, kfreebsd-i386, mips, mipsel, powerpc, s390x, sparc
libavbin0 | 7-1.4 | amd64, armel, armhf, hurd-i386, i386, kfreebsd-amd64,
kfreebsd-i386, mips, mipsel, powerpc, s390x, sparc

Checking reverse dependencies...
# Broken Build-Depends:
psychopy: libavbin0
Dependency problem found.
CCing the psychopy maintainers for their input. If psychopy could drop
the build dependency on avbin, I think there is no reason to keep avbin
in Debian any longer.
