[FFmpeg-devel] Reintroducing FFmpeg to Debian

When somebody renames constants, a compatibility #ifdef or two is not too
much to ask, IMHO.

That begs the question whether they're still essentially the same library,
i.e. whether it's at all reasonable to expect code built using FFmpeg to
work with libav. Consequently, Debian should at least include it, even
if it really _is_ too late to switch (which I'm not conviced of).
