Are you soru, that ffmpeg packages created by [email protected] creates
hard dependancy? According to the changelog, these ffmpeg packages adds 
libamr support via dlopen(), this is runtime libamr detection, so, no hard 
dependancies on the libamr packages. I can paste changelog from patched 
ffmpeg packages for Ubuntu 8.10 again: 
 
ffmpeg (3:0.svn20080206-12ubuntu3+unstripped5+amr1) intrepid; urgency=low 
  * debian/patches/60_dlopen_libamr.diff: add libamr support via dlopen().
    (LP: #93849) 
  * debian/patches/series: add the above patch.
  * debian/confflags: pass --enable-libamrnbbin and --enable-libamrwbbin.
