Bug#729203: Walk the talk!

[Juergen Novak <juergen.lindemeyer@gmx.net>]

I also support this request.

Please, don't drop the good stuff, just because something new shiny 
seems to be here ... it is not!

I am using Debian, because I was annoyed by other distros that just jump 
on the newest bandwagon just to see how the ride will be. Now I 
understand, that Debian is doing the same with ffmpeg.

I understand (and have seen) that libav/avconv does not support as many 
options as ffmpeg does and has many more bugs.

Why not at least let the users decide? Why force this change on them and 
break existing code (shell scripts etc.) just to conform to the newest 
trend?

Is this the Debian way? Than I might have to leave also this distro, 
because it does not practice as it claims.
