This means that both package need to get upgraded in lockstep. It is,
however, non-trivial in this specific case, because both packages
declare a versioned Conflicts: relation with each other. This means that
one package has to get removed first so the other one can get upgraded
and then the first package gets added back. Fortunately, apt-get handles
this procedure quite gracefully nowadays.

I believe this upgrade would be less of a drama if versioned Breaks:
relations were declared between packages instead of versioned Conflicts
and I hereby ask gstreamer packagers to fix this.

Thanks!
