Comment (by EricV):

 That's the developpers view and surely not the various distribution
 maintainer maintainers views. Most packages are build using external
 dependencies and external ffmpeg. As a side note, anybody wanting serious
 multimedia in debian use marillat deb-multimedia repo that build ffmpeg
 2.1, xbmc git, vlc handbrake, ... XBMC from marillat tree was build using
 external dependencies for example...

 From a XBMC perspective, lauching a new version that does not support up-
 todate ffmpeg is a shame. From ffmpeg perspective it means it will receice
 less testing because maintainers dislike API breakage and may be reluctant
 to package 2.1.x.
