I have uploaded 2:13.2+dfsg1-2~exp0 to experimental using the
reintroduced ffmpeg package which I expect to work like the builds
using the internal FFmpeg copy. Please give it a try if you can.
I plan keeping an xbmc version using packaged ffmpeg until ffmpeg
enters testing. IMO it will be a better choice and easier to use than
my packages at people.debian.org.
