We have a general policy to always update packages to the latest stable
version. It's not possible to check everything that depends on it
before updating the book, if we required that the book would be like
Debian stable; way out of date. If it turns out that an important
package is broken by an update we can always revert the change later.

In this case I would argue that FFmpeg is more important than Transcode
(I don't install Transcode) and so if Transcode needs to be commented
out of the book for a few days while we find a fix then it's not the
end of the world.
