Would this only grant access to the binaries, or also the libraries/development files? > Creating a simple yaml file [4] is all it takes to get started making > a snap built.

It'd be debatable which dependencies the built ffmpeg includes. A minimal ffmpeg without most/any dependencies is already big enough, but when bundling all external dependencies, it would result in a quite huge download. I'll have a look at this if nobody else is super eager to jump at it.
