The maintainers of multimedia packages (e.g. you) will choose between
depending on e.g. libavcodec-dev (from Libav) or libavcodec-ffmpeg-dev

And this is because there is no API compatibility between the
two projects anymore?
FFmpeg tries to be API/ABI compatible with Libav, but has more
functionality and thus is rather a superset of Libav.
This is because FFmpeg merges changes from Libav, but Libav ignores most
changes done in FFmpeg.
I gave a detailed reasoning for not letting the runtime libraries
conflict in my mail to debian-devel [1].
Best regards,
Andreas
