It looks ffmpeg 7.0 support was added in retroarch 1.19.0:

https://www.libretro.com/index.php/retroarch-1-19-0-release/
https://github.com/libretro/RetroArch/commit/bff678c48a3d453244486b64a21fd4e00f56cbfb

I rebuilt retroarch locally with ffmpeg 7.0.1 from unstable and it 
succeeded. I think this bug can be closed as fixed in retroarch 
1.19.1+dfsg-1, do you agree?

(Also, could you please push the git tag for 1.19.1+dfsg-1?)

Thanks for maintaining retroarch,
Ryan
