Dear maintainer, I am working on reintroducing FFmpeg to Debian [1-2]. In order to make FFmpeg co-installable with Libav, the libraries were renamed to lib*-ffmpeg. Thus using linker flags like '-lavcodec' doesn't work with the FFmpeg packages. To get the correct linking flags for both FFmpeg and Libav, one can (and should) use pkg-config. Attached patch achieves that for this package, by simply build-depending on pkg-config. Please apply it to facilitate building your package with FFmpeg in Debian. If you want to facilitate this even further, you can also add lib*-ffmpeg-dev alternatives to the Libav build-dependencies. While the FFmpeg package is still waiting in the NEW queue [3], it can already be built from the git repository [4].
