I agree that we should upload ffmpeg to unstable ASAP now. I hoped that
I will find the time to prepare an upload to unstable last week, but
failed. I will try again this week, but don't want to make promises.

If you have time, could you please have a look at the open bugs in
debbugs, fix them in svn and prepare an upload to unstable? thanks!

I can have a look at that, but again, no promises.
