In the debian update to 7.7.0 ffmpeg was disable as debian switched to 
v5 while digikam still only supports the (still supported) v4, and 
digikam uses the ffmpeg library to handle .heic.

(The more problems I see related to major library upgrades in debian, 
the less convinced I am that only supporting a single (major) version 
for all libraries really is a good idea. Then I again I am not the one 
doing the work, so I am definitely not complaining, just thinking.)
