Fine, so I have attached a revised version with all the typos fixed 
that you found in the previous one. I hope I got the first paragraph 
less confusing, too.

I'll have a look at it.

If we really happen to ship unmodified ffmpeg sources but disable some 
codecs in the binary package, what will the situation be in Ubuntu and 
Debian? Will you still provide lib*-unstripped packages in Ubuntu with 
only the seven lines of codec-disabling commented out? And how about 
Debian? Will we still try to get the package into the non-free section 
without the codec-disabling or do we leave this as an exercise to the 
user? ;)
