Ok, I'm currently working in a private branch (see #471136 for details),
and I was thinking about renaming the package to match the binary names
of Marillat (without that silly 'cvs' suffix, of course). Read: replace
the '1d' suffix with 52 for libavformat, libavcodec, libpostproc, 53 for
libavdevice, but keeping 1d for libswscale.

Objections?
