Yes, the problem seems to be rather common, see e.g.:

I really wouldn't include the SVN revision in the versioning, or else 
we would have to rebuild *all* depending packages when we check out 
another revision. I recommend something more generic like FFMPEG_TRUNK 
or similar.

lots thereof! :D

This way we are really able to distinguish both ABIs from each other. 
However, since you already rose this issue upstream, maybe we should 
recommend them to adopt this technique. Else we would again maintain a 
Debian-specific deviation from upstream, which they really do not seem 
to like.

Cheers,
Fabian
