An exception was granted because gst-ffmpeg is an important infrastructure package. However, this can hardly be said for gst-ffmpeg-0.8; muine and teatime have already been easily fixed and goobox seems dead upstream. (According to http://www.gnomefiles.org/app.php?soft_id=531 the last upstream release is from Nov 2005). I'll file an RC bug for hinting it out of testing.
