In what way are they unnecessary?  If anything declared in a header is
explicitly used, the header should be included, even if another header
includes it indirectly.  The only exception is libavutil/common.h (and
with it internal.h), which is included by avcodec.h and others.  If
everything declared in a header is truly unused in a source file, it
should obviously not be included.  Patches to fix such instances are
welcome.
