 upgrading both libs would then resolve it.

 Works for me.

 Should I wait for a new ffmepg 2.1 release ?

 than it solves, especially if debian at some future point introduces a
 incompatible libavutil with that major version from libav.

 We already have this sort of issues with
 libavcodec/libavformat/libavdevice soname is 55 in ffmpeg since 2.0 when
 lbav still have 54.
