It's entirely possible to use gst-vaapi without commercial plugins,
the problem is the (mysterious to me) dependency on gst-ffmpeg.

How about making gst-ffmpeg a recommends instead of rdepends, so that
if it's blacklisted due to license flags there isn't a build failure.
gst-vaapi doesn't have license issues to making it disappear when
avoiding commercial licenses doesn't make sense.

(I'd also like to understand why gst-ffmpeg is a rdepends at all)
