They should all be independant, and AFAIK even the gstreamer updates can be
independant of each other. The problem I ran into before was that
gst-plugins-good didn't compile correctly after updating some of the others.

That said, I think it would be worth it to try to pick off some of the
updates and see if they can be applied without breakage, so I'll see about
again while security-updates get built.
