Bug#666765: lintian: Add libav libraries to embedded-library check

[Andres Mejia]

Package: lintian
Version: 2.5.6
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch

Embedded libav libraries should be checked for in the 'embedded-library' check.
Reasons for this are as follow.

 * libav is a heavily used multimedia library. Many multimedia related packages
   (apps, frameworks, etc.) use libav in one form or another.
 * libav sees at least 10 security related fixes each point release.
 * In Debian, it was already expected that no package should use an embedded
   copy of any of the libav libraries.

Attached is a patch that will add the libav libraries into the
'embedded-libraries' lintian check.
