Oh, I'm sorry, I was confused, ffDiaporama does not build-depend on
libavcodec-extra after all but seems to really require it at run-time.
It has been a while and I have been confused about the situation.

So we still have two problems: First, Recommends is too weak, as
Fabrice confirms that the package *will not run* without it. Second,
out of the alternative, one of the two *will* be wrong, and depends on
the version of libav the package was built against.

I think the correct solution is to make the libav package provide a
metapackage, on which ffDiaporama can depend on.
