Hello Christian,

I haven't heard back from you yet, but I wanted to let you know that
I've just uploaded a new ffmpeg snaphshot to debian experimental:

This time, I've tried to make things for you easy. On git.debian.org,
the pkg-multimedia/ffmpeg-debian repository contains a branch called
'master.unstripped'. That branch contains a ffmpeg package without any
crippling or removals of encoders, codecs or whatever. Moreover, it
only builds the replacement packages so that they can smoothly be
installed along with the debian packages.

Today I had the chance to have these packages tested on a user
machine. The packages worked perfectly. Perhaps you could distribute
them on debian-multimedia.org?

How to create the packages:

  sudo apt-get install git-buildpackage pristine-tar
  git clone git://git.debian.org/git/pkg-multimedia/ffmpeg-debian.git
  cd ffmpeg-debian
  branches="master.unstripped pristine-tar upstream upstream.unstripped"
  for b in $branches; do git checkout -b $b origin/$b ; done
  git-checkout master.unstripped
  git-buildpackage --git-pristine-tar -S        \
     --git-debian-branch="master.unstripped"    \
     --git-upstream-branch="upstream.unstripped"

This package build and works just fine in debian/main. I suspect you
want to build against vdpau, libx264, faac, etc. I also prepared support
for that. Just edit debian/control.ffmpeg, add the build-dependencies
and regenerate debian/control:

  $EDITOR debian/control.ffmpeg
  debian/rules debian/control

debian/confflags will check if the respective headers are available in
the build environment and add respective "--enable-foo" flags to the
configure call.

If that would work for you, I have no problem to maintain the
"master.unstripped" branch for debian-multimedia.org. Please tell me
your thoughts.
