If out-of-sync means ABI-incompatible, then the other -extra packages 
won't help anyway.

Would you accept a patch against libav-extra that changes it to only 
build (all flavors of) libavcodec and change the Conflicts of the 
other libraries to Depends? So that e.g. libswscale-extra-2 would 
depend on the (identical) libswscale2 instead of conflicting against it.
