Package: ffmpeg
Version: 7:5.1.6-0+deb12u1
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: [email protected]
ffmpeg aleady ships generic libav*-extra packages that depend on the latest
versions. It would be desirable to also ship non-extra versions of these.
Thanks!

Take it or leave it. Version-less binary packages create more problems
than they solve (if they solve any at all). There is a good reason we
have a whole section in the Debian policy on managing shared libaries.
I am closing this bug again.
