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

[Mario Limonciello]

Yeah, just confirmed in resolute. They're symlinks.

# apt policy mesa-va-drivers
mesa-va-drivers:
  Installed: 25.2.8-2ubuntu1
  Candidate: 25.2.8-2ubuntu1
  Version table:
 *** 25.2.8-2ubuntu1 500
        500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu resolute/universe amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

So at least to me this sounds like a solid argument to do what arch did
and axe the mesa-va-drivers package.

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.

  $ apt rdepends mesa-va-drivers
  mesa-va-drivers
  Reverse Depends:
    Depends: va-driver-all

  $ apt rdepends va-driver-all

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