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.
While I always stated that I'm open to discussion, you just ended the discussion after trying to block FFmpeg from entering Debian, which I do not find very constructive.
Whether you believe it or not, my pet project is called Debian and I want to see the best possible software in it. You may have noticed that a lot of people are unhappy with the current situation of only having libav.
I tried to package FFmpeg in a way that has the smallest possible impact on the current Debian archive, i.e. as coinstallable with libav.
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.
You can do however you like, but so can everyone else.I want to see FFmpeg in Debian and I'm interested in any constructive discussion about problems that might bring for others. If you don't have time for such a discussion that is a pity.
