There must be a good *reason* why Christian still maintains ffmpeg and mplayer in d-m.o even though same-named packages are also in Debian. Maybe he likes the extra work??
Maybe because he activates some 5 more built-in encoders in ffmpeg and links it against some 5 more libraries like libmp3lame and libx264, which we can't since they are not in Debian. And no, it turns out he does not set value on collaboration with the Debian pkg-multimedia team or even attempt to keep his libraries at least binary compatible to the ones in Debian.
Please concern yourself with the multimedia patent and codec situation in Debian next time, before you post bullshit to debian-devel.
