Have a look at: http://packages.debian.org/wheezy/libav-tools

the 'ffmpeg' package is kept as transitional package because a) it
still provides /usr/bin/ffmpeg (for now, but this will go away with
libav 0.9) and b) a lot of other packages still depend on 'ffmpeg'.
Feel free to file bugs to get those updated.
