The gsequencer/7.5.5-1 (ppc64el) failure was a flake. After
resubmitting, it passes.

Title:
Plugin nvcodec is missing on plucky amd64
Status in gst-plugins-bad1.0 package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Status in gst-plugins-bad1.0 source package in Plucky:
Fix Committed
Bug description:
[ Impact ]
* Users expect to find the nvcodec plugin available in the -bad set,
which is used for all sorts of filtering and acceleration tasks
leveraging NVIDIA GPUs.
* Due to a recent packaging bug, which intended to disable this
plugin for ARM platforms, but accidentally enabled it *only* for ARM
platforms, excluding all others, resulting in the original bug report.
* Debian have reverted this exclusion logic entirely, since the
original issues requiring it not be built for ARM platforms have been
resolved.
* This SRU simply cherry-picks the revert of this packaging change,
fixing the bug.
[ Test Plan ]
* To reproduce the bug, from a plucky installation,
$ sudo apt install gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad
$ gst-inspect-1.0 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gstreamer-1.0/libgstnvcodec.so
No such element or plugin
'/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gstreamer-1.0/libgstnvcodec.so'
* With the new package, the gst-inspect-1.0 command should provide
details about the plugin.
[ Where problems could occur ]
* Auto-plugging elements may now pick up the NVCODEC plugin instead
of say a software fallback. Behaviour there could change, although I
don't know of any applications in practice that would be available to
test this. It should be noted this is not introducing a new feature,
but rather restoring prior behaviour due to an upstream packaging
accident picked up in Plucky.

[ Original Bug Report ]
I noticed that on plucky the nvcodec plugin (libgstnvcodec.so) is
missing.
https://packages.ubuntu.com/plucky/amd64/gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad/filelist
(missing)
https://packages.ubuntu.com/jammy/amd64/gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad/filelist
(there)
Upon further inspection I could not find anything in the Changelog
that mentioned any changes to nvcodec. I then noticed that it IS
present in the plucky arm64 build:
https://packages.ubuntu.com/plucky/arm64/gstreamer1.0-plugins-
bad/filelist (there)
So I am guessing something went wrong during the build and this went
unnoticed?
gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad/plucky,now 1.26.0-1ubuntu2 amd64 [installed]
