I have to mention a bit more serious issue with libav team's activities regarding ffmpeg... It is a copyright infringement to say something like: ffmpeg version 0.8.6-6:0.8.6-1ubuntu2, Copyright (c) 2000-2013 the Libav developers because Libav is not a Copyright holder of ffmpeg, but FFmpeg is. Claiming a copyright on something that is not yours is a criminal act, in most of the countries around the world. Debian/Ubuntu should be aware of that, since if anyone, from FFmpeg team, decides to sue Libav, they could easily win the case (no to mention they could also sue the Debian/Ubuntu community). It is obvious that Libav team made a move that is at least malapert and insolent, confusing everyone who's been using FFmpeg so far. If Libav team doesn't want to change the false copyright message or even worse the claim that "ffmpeg is deprecated" or "not developed anymore", it is Debian's/Ubuntu's responsibility to remove such a package from their repositories.
