Please keep the strict internal dependencies for the reasons Reinhard
mentioned. One should not mix libraries of e.g. version 0.x from testing
with 0.x.y from unstable. The libraries should transition in one single
rush and this should be made sure by their internal dependencies.

But I also think the internal dependencies should get simplified -- in a
way that the alternative dependencies on the -extra flavours should get
dropped for all libraries but libavcodec, which is the only one that
actually provides a reasonable -extra variant.
