Bug#655683: libav-tools: should provide ff* compatibility symlinks

[Sven Joachim]

Package: libav-tools
Version: 4:0.8~beta2-1

Renaming the programs from ff* to av* is breaking reverse
dependencies of ffmpeg that are using these binaries.  At least
"youtube-dl --extract-audio" is affected by this because it looks for
ffprobe and fails. :-(

Please check ffmpeg's reverse dependencies for invocations of ffprobe,
ffplay etc. and file bugs against them.  In the meantime, providing
compatibility symlinks is probably a good idea, at least if the
commandline options of the programs are compatible.
