Bug#729203: (no subject)

[Lorenzo Sutton <lorenzofsutton@gmail.com>]

Agree with many on at least providing the *option* for users to have the 
original ffmpeg instead of libav and using sensible clear names and 
descriptions for both packages.
The 'deprecation' message is at least confusing and misleading.

Without getting into the politics of the fork etc. users should be able 
to do

apt-get install ffmpeg

or

apr-get install libav


Am compiling ffmpeg manually and it's boring and time-consuming. And as 
a multimedia user I prefer ffmpeg to libav.
