The "epoch" (the version number prefix, before the ':') is used to
explicitly enforce this. 4:x is always older than 5:y. Christian
Marillat does this on purpose. I don't know his reasons.
In order to "downgrade" from 5:0.7.11-0.1 to 4:0.8-2~bpo60+1 you need to
tun 'apt-get install ffmpeg=4:0.8-2~bpo60+1'.
