Bug Description

Please remove src:qtav and src:matrix-mirage from kinetic.

qtav:
It requires further upstream work for FFMPEG 5. While some such efforts have been started [1], qtav has been marked by upstream as "no longer maintained" [2], so I'm not expecting further progress.

Digikam formerly depended on qtav, and it's immediate solution for this problem was to drop video playback, then psuedo-vendor and cleanup the qtav code as part of the Digikam codebase [3].

qtav does have a remaining reverse dependency, in the form of matrix-mirage.
Package has been removed from Debian Testing [4].

matrix-mirage:
The package is pseudo-unmaintained upstream, having been forked to a new project called "moment" [5]. The moment maintainers seem to be running the mirage issue tracker these days. The package might otherwise be fine, but to complete the FFMPEG transition related work and have a clean NBS, choices need to be made.

Package has no reverse dependencies.
Package orphaned by Debian Developer, perhaps due to the above issues [6].
Package has been removed from Debian Testing [7].

On a side note, qtav remaining would have also blocked the next bugfix release of Qt5 from landing in Kinetic, so this removal is needed and timely, as that update should be landing soon
