Do you know of an GPL2-only application that links against ffmpeg
libraries (would be a silly idea anyway)? However, there was an
approach pending to dlopen() the opencore libs at runtime. Have you
heard any news from this?

Technically yes, but you are right. We have to opt out any license
issues that may occur first.

Alright. BTW, I have asked lintian for its opinion on the new packages:
- The library packages are still missing symbols files.
- The libraries contain some typos, should we fix them?
- We have an unused override
debian-rules-calls-debhelper-in-odd-order, which makes me wonder. We
do indeed call debhelper commands in an odd order, but why doesn't
lintian see this anymore?
