Ok, that's a good reason. But right now only FB and Xv is supported in 
Debian. Maybe we will create several binaray packages later on.

I have absolutely no idea. I'm wondering, that ffmpeg is in Debian at 
all, because of all the patent issues. But it's kinda annoying, because 
the Debian ffmpeg doesn't coexist very well with Christian Marillats 
ffmepg -  at least in Sarge C. Marillats ffmpeg can't be used, because 
libpostproc is always taken from the Debian repository.
