Well, I think that's debatable. Having two separate source package for 
the sake of two additional codecs could also be considered as 
increased complexity. And if I understand it right, it's only 
libavcodec that needs to get rebuilt with a slightly different set of 
confflags, i.e. the ones that enable the codecs in question. These 
could be set to different values (i.e. different additional codecs) 
depending if the package is built for Debian or Ubuntu.
