Oh darn, you're right. I've compared the list of libraries with the
dependencies of libavcodec-dev and not libavutil-dev. So Fabian is
right, the most easy fix would be to make libavutil-dev depend on
libavcodec-dev and everying is fine.

On the other hand, I'm not exactly sure why ffmpeg-config is in the
libavutil-dev package at all. It could as well go directly to
libavcodec-dev, so we wouldn't have to force libavutil-dev to depend on
libavcodec-dev. Package would then need to depend on libavcodec-dev in
order to use it, which might or might not be a good idea.

In any case, I think ffmpeg-config should go away. Upstream is providing
pkg-config as mechanism for that. I know that obviously quite some
packages in debian use ffmpeg-config for that, but we should fix that
IMO.
