Select provider of libav* libraries

[Benjamin Drung]

Hi,

there was a discussion on the debian-devel mailing list about
reintroducing FFmpeg to Debian [1]. The security team made clear [2]
that they will only support one provider of the libav* libraries. So
either libav or FFmpeg could go in the release and the other library has
to stay in experimental (or unstable with a RC bug). The maintainer of
libav is the Debian Multimedia team and therefore it is up to us to
decide whether we want libav or FFmpeg in Debian 8 (jessie).

So I am asking you: Should we ship libav or FFmpeg? Can we reach a
consensus on this topic?
