It's in the sources. You need to rebuild the ffmpeg packages to get 
full functionality.

This is somehow quick and dirty but should pretty much do it (maybe we 
should document something like an "official" method somewhere):

# apt-get build-dep ffmpeg-debian
$ apt-get source ffmpeg-debian
$ cd ffmpeg-debian_0.svn20080206
$ DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=internalencoders \
   fakeroot debian/rules get-orig-source
$ sed -i '1s/ffmpeg-debian/ffmpeg/' debian/changelog
$ DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=internalencoders \
   dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc

Good luck! ;)

Cheers,
Fabian

PS: The above is still a hack! Please don't upload these packages 
anywhere!
