Because that is the version in unstable and I'm not sure if we really 
want to do both a libav and a libpt/libopal transition at the same time.

I did check with the latest upstream version, and the code did not seem 
to have changed much upstream; I'd therefore expect the patch to apply 
just fine.

Please let me know if you have any further questions about it.
