In [1], Moritz from the security team clearly stated that he is more

testing either. I am therefore surprised about the given answer to the
"More than uncomfortable" does not mean "will not be included"
Yes, it does.
Someone will have to convince the security team somehow, likely by offering
to do the work themselves _and_ convincing them that these new members will
be around for long enough.
Michael Niedermayer from FFmpeg upstream volunteered "to help with any
future security issues in FFmpeg packages in debian" [1].
However:
The change in Debian-specific symbol versioning and sonames being done to
ffmpeg so that it is co-installable with libav *is* a problem.
It has to be done in coordination with the Canonical guys, so that both
Debian and Ubuntu do the same thing re. ffmpeg sonames and symbol
versioning. Otherwise, the ffmpeg packages will be of very limited use
(useless to run third-party binary-only games ;-p).
I don't think coordination with Ubuntu will be a problem.
In comment #7 in the corresponding bug at launchpad [2] Dimitri John
Ledkov wrote that Ubuntu won't introduce FFmpeg on it's on, but instead:
"If you wish to see a supported ffmpeg stack in both Debian and Ubuntu,
please become a developer and start maintaining it in Debian."
Best regards,
