totem-pl-parser is easily splittable. Because of a licensing conflict,
the part that depends on quvi is a separate helper file ( /usr/lib
/*/libtotem-plparser18/totem-pl-parser/99-totem-pl-parser-videosite ).
Here's a draft of what can be done to bypass this stalled MIR:

1. Work with the Debian GNOME team to split the library
2. Since the helper file is needed for YouTube and Vimeo integration with the 
GNOME Videos app (totem), those plugins should be moved from 
grilo-plugins-0.3-base to -extra. -extra should depend on the helper library
3. The new helper binary will need to be demoted to universe

Incidentally, the YouTube and Vimeo integration in Totem is hidden
anyway. They aren't listed in Channels; instead you need to click the
Search button, select Local to switch to a different search provider,
and then search for something.

Bug description:
  MIR: new dependencies for libquvi-scripts / libquvi

  libquvi is owned by the desktop team, but not libquvi-scripts. Please
  subscribe to it.

  libquvi-scripts gained runtime dependencies on some lua packages which
  need the MIR:

  luasocket, lua-json, lua-expat, lua-bitop
