Bug#543595: ffmpeg: binaries statically linked

[Aaron M. Ucko]

Package: ffmpeg
Version: 4:0.5+svn20090706-1
Severity: serious
Justification: Policy 4.13

The executables in the ffmpeg binary package now link statically
against ffmpeg libraries, whereas Policy calls for dynamic linkage.
In this instance, there are no security concerns because the libraries
in question all come from the same source package anyway, but the code
duplication still adds a fair bit of bulk, increasing Installed-Size
on amd64 from less then a megabyte to nearly seventeen.  Could you
please switch back to dynamic linkage?

Thanks!
