I generally agree with your proposal, although "easier and less 
error-prone" is in the eye of the beholder, of course. At least I am 
currently a bit lost in your proposed diff against debian/rules. ;)

In this context, please remove the libav-source binary package as 
well. It is of no further use (that I know of) if the libav-extra 
source package is removed. Also, please make sure that only the 
dynamic libraries are rebuilt for the extra packages, not the static 
one (don't know if it is already like this; as I said, the diff is a 
bit too much for me on a Monday morning ;) ).
