   move presets back to 'ffmpeg' package. Closes #581748

The problem is more serious at it seems. Leaving the presets in /usr/share/ffmpeg will cause file conflicts on the next SONAME bump. brr.

This fix is actually more complicated as it seems. I proposed to change the installation directory to include the soname change. Hower, it did not receive good reception upstream:

   http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.video.ffmpeg.devel/109433

In the end, moving it back to the ffmpeg package seems to be the least evil here.

I agree with upstream that it makes little sense shipping with a library that does not use it.

How about shipping in an arch-independent package ffmpeg-data?

Then x264 can depend unversioned on that package, and if the data format of the files should change some day then x264 can tighten dependency or we could add a virtual package name indicating the "soname" of the data format.

How does that sound?
