Blue Screen Effects Missing in Kdenlive on Ubuntu 16.04

I've used kdenlive for a few years on Ubuntu 14.04, however, since migrating to Ubuntu 16.04, my Blue Screen Effects are missing in Alpha Manipulation selections. I did not try to resolve the issue until now, when I attempted to install kdenlive anew, just for this reason on a recently installed Ubuntu 16.04 on a different machine, however, without success. I could not get Blue Screen Effects to appear in the new installation. Does anybody know what happened with kdenlive since, or perhaps the switch from 14.04 to {15,16}.04 requires some additional handling? Here is a short summary of how I installed kdenlive 15.12.03 and the supporting libraries and plugins:

1. sudo apt install kdenlive
2. sudo apt install kde-runtime

Using Synaptic I installed the following items:

3. libavformat-dev
4. frei0r-plugins-dev
5. libpulse-dev
6. Gstreamer Tools 

Running apt-get install -s gstreamer1.0-libav I verified gstreamer1.0-libav was installed. It was!

Any hints of what went wrong would be greatly appreciated.

Thanx!

I resolved the issue, by posting a question on irc.freenode.net#kdenlive. The bot there found an old answer:

I believe "Blue screen" was renamed "Chroma key"
