[Bug 2135270] [NEW] mesa-va-drivers should be seeded by default

Public bug reported:

AMD systems (and really anyone with a VAAPI driver in mesa) have VAAPI
enabled by default across the ecosystem, but only if the mesa-va-drivers
package is installed.

I was just checking and noticed that it's not seeded in resolute for
ubuntu-desktop, but it is for practically every other derivative.

Shouldn't it be seeded in ubuntu-desktop too?
