Also add a mesa task to explore if it really should even be it's own
binary package anymore. Mesa upstream made some changes and it lead to
Arch combining their mesa-va-drivers package into a mesa package. Maybe
same should happen here too?
❯ pacman -Ql mesa | grep video
mesa /usr/lib/dri/d3d12_drv_video.so
mesa /usr/lib/dri/nouveau_drv_video.so
mesa /usr/lib/dri/r600_drv_video.so
mesa /usr/lib/dri/radeonsi_drv_video.so
mesa /usr/lib/dri/virtio_gpu_drv_video.so

Bug description:
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?
