I thought I had sent the following information to debian-lts@lists.debian.org and t...@security.debian.org; but looking at my archives I hadn't :-(
I have a version of libav available for testing: https://people.debian.org/~bam/wheezy/libav/ I intended to rebuild all packages that depend on libav, however during the process suddenly noticed that the --extra-packages argument to sbuild (used by ratt) doesn't appear to be working for me, so I actually was testing against the libav already in wheezy :-( I submitted bug report #820882 on this.
