Public bug reported:
Not only did you cripple ffmpeg so that it doesn't support encoding to
most commonly used formats but you also failed to include webm/vp8
support, and you disabled support for existing codecs before adding vp8.
And the version of ffmpeg is way behind upstream. So, upgrading ffmpeg
turned into a major downgrade.
Yeah, there are IP issues with the codecs. blah. blah. blah. People
have been using ffmpeg for a decade. And you spring this change on us
without our knowledge or consent, breaking most uses of the package and
don't even have the decency to call the package ffmpeg-crippled, let
alone provide a non-free package to uncripple it.
