No, it means I don't have the time, nor nerve to discuss this. We're
after all busy to keep Debian secure and sick of maintainers who only
focus on their pet package and neglegt the overall maintainability
of the Debian archive.
The security team made it abundantly clear that we will only support
either solution. If you go ahead with the ITP we'll file an RC bug
against ffmpeg to prevent it's transition to testing. You can then
sort out how/whether ffmpeg should _replace_ libav, but both are not
an option.
