The autopkgtest is meant to catch changes in ffmpeg/libav. As it affects
only a very limited set of presets, and the user can relatively easy
work around this, I downgrade this to normal. Winff will not fail, the
conversion using this preset will fail.

This is more severe for Ubuntu though, as I do recognize, but for Debian
this is a normal bug.

Ack.

The most trivial way to fix it quickly is by just dropping the argument.
I'll try to fix it smarter. Upstream is basically in maintenance only
mode. Debian is one of the main reasons for changes (I make them). This
ffmpeg change is such a change.
