I tried that, but then, apt-get dist-upgrade proposed to upgrade
8 packages, but not ffmpeg, although I have:

==> apt-cache policy ffmpeg

   ffmpeg:
     Installed: 5:0.7.11-0.1
     Candidate: 5:0.7.11-0.1
     Version table:
    *** 5:0.7.11-0.1 0
             1 http://www.debian-multimedia.org/ squeeze/main i386 Packages
           100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
        4:0.8-2~bpo60+1 0
           100 http://backports.debian.org/debian-backports/ squeeze-backports/main i386 Packages
        4:0.7.2-1~bpo60+1 0
           100 http://backports.debian.org/debian-backports/ squeeze-backports/main i386 Packages
        4:0.5.6-3 0
           500 http://ftp.fr.debian.org/debian/ squeeze/main i386 Packages
           500 http://security.debian.org/ squeeze/updates/main i386 Packages

So, it seems that apt-get is not aware that 4:0.8 is newer than 5:0.7
idem with "aptitude full-upgrade"
