** Description changed:

- What is the problem:
+ Impact
+ -------
  Totem can't play videos if gstreamer1.0-vaapi is installed on Gallium 
graphics in Xenial because mesa-va-drivers is not installed as a dependency of 
va-driver-all.
  
  Here is the dependency chain in Xenial:
  gstreamer1.0-vaapi Depends on libva1
  libva1 Recommends va-driver-all
- va-driver-all Depends on i965-va-driver vdpau-va-driver (no mesa-va-drivers!)
+ va-driver-all Depends on i965-va-driver vdpau-va-driver (no mesa-va-drivers)
+ 
+ This is fixed in version 1.7.0-2 in Debian and Yakkety.
+ libva (1.7.0-2) unstable; urgency=medium
+ 
+   * debian/control:
+     - Add mesa-va-drivers as alternative to Depends of va-driver-all.
+     - Bump Standards-Versions.

+ Test case
+ ----------
+ - Purge va-driver-all and mesa-va-drivers if already installed
+ - Install va-driver-all from xenial-proposed
+ - Make sure that mesa-va-drivers is pulled in
+ - Play videos in Totem with gstreamer1.0-vaapi installed and make sure that 
videos play nicely.
  
  Here is the terminal output of Totem (with gstreamer1.0-vaapi installed and 
no mesa-va-drivers):
  :~$ totem
  Stream with high frequencies VQ coding
  libva info: VA-API version 0.39.0
  libva info: va_getDriverName() returns 0
  libva info: Trying to open /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri/radeonsi_drv_video.so
  libva info: va_openDriver() returns -1
  libva info: VA-API version 0.39.0
  libva info: va_getDriverName() returns 0
  libva info: Trying to open /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri/gallium_drv_video.so
  libva info: va_openDriver() returns -1
  libva info: VA-API version 0.39.0
  libva info: va_getDriverName() returns 0
  
  When mesa-va-drivers is installed, Totem plays videos just fine.
  
- This is fixed in version 1.7.0-2 in Debian and Yakkety.
- libva (1.7.0-2) unstable; urgency=medium
  
-   * debian/control:
-     - Add mesa-va-drivers as alternative to Depends of va-driver-all.
-     - Bump Standards-Versions.
+ Regression potential
+ ---------------------
+ Since there are no code changes at all, I cannot think of any regressions.
