It is a misconception that making this optional would be a reasonable
solution - in reality the hassle that would create would is so huge
that no sane person would want to implement the packaging for something
like that.

But anyways, the misleading naming of the packages should stop. If Debian decides to go with libav, they should not name the package ffmpeg. Repeatedly explaining to people that they do not have ffmpeg on their computer despite typing "apt-get install ffmpeg" is really annoying.
