Bug#549121: libslv2-9: abusive Recommends

Just a heads-up that this bug is becoming more important.  Today I
stumbled upon it when a routine "aptitude safe-upgrade" wanted to
install a whole bunch of new packages, including the jackd sound server,
a package which I definitely do _not_ want on my system.

It turns out that this happened because the new version of
gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad (which is installed because gnash recommends
it, which seems reasonable) depends on libslv2-9.
