Since SHLIBS normally creates (>= SHLIBS) dependencies it is still 
possible to unintentionally mix up our packages and Marillat's as soon 
as he releases a newer snapshot. The striking part of my proposal is 
the (= binary:Version) dependency.

Yes, but again "easy upgrade" could as well mean an unintended upgrade 
to a newer snapshot of debian-multimedia. I don't think we lose 
anything because of the strict dependency since I only propose this 
for the dependencies of ffmpeg libraries against each other and since 
they are all arch:any packages they will be available simultaniously 
on Debian mirrors.
