As I tried to imply above: If no decision between having both,
only FFmpeg, or only Libav can be reached with normal means,
we have to ask the TC.

I'd like to see stretch released with FFmpeg. So either FFmpeg replaces
Libav or the Security Team gets convinced that having both is acceptable.

This is a possible outcome, if both are allowed in stretch.

If both are there, any maintainer can make his own decision, probably
based on upstream preference.

I feel that it's not necessary, but possible, to make a Debian-wide
decision between FFmpeg and Libav.
