I agree with upstream that it makes little sense shipping with a library 
that does not use it.

How about shipping in an arch-independent package ffmpeg-data?

Then x264 can depend unversioned on that package, and if the data format 
of the files should change some day then x264 can tighten dependency or 
we could add a virtual package name indicating the "soname" of the data 
format.

How does that sound?
