Quoting https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=888366#17

  I assure you there there will not be more than one FFmpeg version in the
  archive at once :)

Now if that can be relaxed then we definitely have a solution.

Normally changes between point releases (5.10 to 5.11 in this case) tend to be 
huge. Add to that in order to build that beast, having a team member on VAC, 
means that we need to go to a powerful porterbox or wait many hours before 
each iteration (yes, owning almost 10 years old hardware doesn't helps).

So we do what we can to make it trough official releases. But if someone has 
the time and build power to fix 5.10 (the patches seemed to apply to 5.11), 
pretty please go ahead.

Cheers, Lisandro.

mujer da el pésame a Borges y comenta: "Pobre Leonorcita, morirse tan poquito
antes de cumplir los 100 años. Si hubiera esperado un poquito más...".
Borges responde: "Veo, señora, que es usted devota del sistema decimal".
