Re: ffmpeg-0.8 expects wrong preset file extension (.ffpreset instead of .avpreset)

[Laurento <laurento.frittella@gmail.com>]

Upstream complains with:
"You are using ffmpeg, it expects presets file with the ffpreset
extension, that is normal.
If you want to complain about your distribution shipping a fork, see
with your distribution issue tracker."

So is it a debian issue?
