landell depends on gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg, which is uninstallable,
and hence has been removed from testing two years ago.
I'm adjusting the severity of this bug accordingly.

It's about time. ;)

Since there has been only one single maintainer upload for landell
(and one NMU) in 2011, this is probably not going to happen.
Thus I'm going to request it's removal.

I'm also going to request the removal of gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg,
since it is the last reverse-dependency of src:libpostproc
and I want to request it's removal.
I hope you don't mind.

I think gstreamer-hplugins can also be removed, because landell
is it's only reverse-dependency.
But I have no immediate interest in it's removal, so I leave
that to someone else.

Best regards,
Andreas
