Bug#692193: ffmpeg: description claims that ffmpeg is a transitional package, but it isn't

[Vincent Lefevre]

Package: ffmpeg
Version: 6:0.8.4-1
Severity: normal

The ffmpeg description is:

Description: Multimedia player, server, encoder and transcoder (transitional package)

which is incorrect because the package provides the ffmpeg program
(and its man page). Removing a transitional package should be
completely safe, but here doing this breaks other software on the
machine (e.g. the DownloadHelper Firefox extension, which knows
about ffmpeg, but not avconv). Please use another word in the
package description such as "obsolete".
