Hi.

The current debian sources (electricsheep-2.7~b12+svn20091224) are obviously 
from 2009. They do not compile with the current libav* libraries.
See here: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=638560

There are much newer versions on http://electricsheep.org
You could download the sources and compile your private version of 
electricsheep, or you could get in touch with the debian maintainer...
