It looks like in commit 1eeb59a2099 you added the libharfbuzz dependency (6 months ago). But you did not include this change in the Changelog. I will guess that downstream packagers, including Debian and whoever it is who builds unofficial binaries, missed this new dependency. Hence, their packages are broken. Please fix this, Paul. Those folks shouldn't need to wade through every commit message in order to build ffmpeg correctly.

Re: [FFmpeg-user] drawtext filter missing
You misinterpreted the response. I have emailed the correct unsubscribe link several times. I figured a commotion was in order. No personal directed intention to you. I hope you had your question answered. If you need help building a solution reach out to me.

Both are compiled with --enable-libfreetype but both barf on a drawtext filter. I am attaching the log file from the static build. According to: https://ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg-all.html#drawtext-1 the libfreetype library should be sufficient. Recent versions of the drawtext filter now also depend on libharfbuzz. I also did run into this when cross-compiling a static build of FFmpeg. Unfortunately the harfbuzz library has some other non-trivial dependencies in turn, like GLib and Cairo, and uses Meson for building (see https://harfbuzz.github.io/building.html). In my opinion it would have been nice if the libharfbuzz dependency of the drawtext filter could be made optional, for those that do not mind non-perfect positioned characters - or just use monospaced fonts anyway.
