Yes, the reason was that Reinhard, who was the maintainer of the ffmpeg package back then, was on the libav side after the split. BTW: for those who do not know. Michael raised the issue of the ffmpeg -> libav switch at ubuntu back then [1]. The technical board decided to go with the decision of the package maintainer [2,3,4]. I think most people will find [3] the most interesting, as it explains why Reinhard thought (and still thinks) that libav was the better choice.
