The gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad package description says: [...] GStreamer Bad Plug-ins is a set of plug-ins that aren't up to par compared to the rest. They might be close to being good quality, but they're missing something - be it a good code review, some documentation, a set of tests, a real live maintainer, or some actual wide use.
which is unacceptable from a security and stability point of view. One problem is that if this package is installed, then Iceweasel automatically uses these plugins (even when not needed, currently making it crash[*]), with apparently no way to disable them. IMHO, either there should be a way to disable them for some applications, or this package shouldn't be in dependencies. Note: Disabling all gstreamer plugins (i.e. including those from the good set) is not a solution.
