Hello everybody
At that point, and given the impressive number of users who expressed interest
for having FFmpeg in Debian (see http://bugs.debian.org/729203), I think that
it would be fair to ask the libav maintainers to provide arguments on whether
to distribute both libraries or make a choice, even if it is against their own
interest since they may see their packages removed at the end.
Otherwise we are in that kind of frequent Debianesque situation where the
winning strategy is to stay silent as long as possible.
Have a nice day,
