Bug#1086805: ffmpeg: please provide versionless libav* that pull the latest versioned binaries

[Martin-Éric Racine <martin-eric.racine@iki.fi>]

Package: ffmpeg
Version: 7:5.1.6-0+deb12u1
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: martin-eric.racine@iki.fi

ffmpeg aleady ships generic libav*-extra packages that depend on the latest versions. It would be desirable to also ship non-extra versions of these.

Thanks!
Martin-Éric
