Any package distributed through Debian is not suppose to use embedded libav libraries. This seemed like an unwritten rule, and people in debian-devel had this understanding as well. Now that it seems libav gets at least 10 security fixes every point release, I believe this merits adding checks for the libav libraries to the 'embedded-libraries' lintian check. Note having embedded libraries is an error.
The following patch does this. I tested with mplayer2 (which passes) and the mythtv package in Ubuntu (which fails all of the new tests). Any feedback before I submit this to lintian? -- ~ Andres
