At the moment I think Antoine is still reviewing my packaging before

This was a misunderstanding - I thought more work would be done on the
package first. :)
I think it would be good, if you could upload it to experimental now,
because I would like to know, if FFmpeg builds on all architectures.
You could use the new upstream version 2.1.4 for this, simply by
downloading the tarball [1] and changing the version in debian/changelog
(trivial patch attached).
Is there a git repo or is there only the stuff you sent as an
attachment?
I have a local git repo created via git-import-dsc. It would probably be
good to make this available somewhere.
But the debian.tar.xz and the upstream tarball should be enough to build
the package with debuild.
If you need anything else, just ask.
By the way, Alexander Strasser from FFmpeg upstream has volunteered to
co-maintain FFmpeg in Debian.
Best regards,
Andreas
