Here it goes - I have been able to make a statically-built ffmpeg package that can be installed alongside libav harmlessly. It doesn't replace the libav libraries, so things like VLC and others still link against libav.
This package doesn't exhibit bug #738599. I pushed this on github for now: https://github.com/anarcat/FFmpeg/tree/debian/debian This can allow people to build ffmpeg binaries reliably under Debian sid and jessie right now. It is currently non-free because if links against libfaac0 and so on. But it's a good start, I believe. This package is based on Marillat's ffmpeg packages, so it will need to import a lot of the improvements from the libav packages, amongst other things. There's a TODO in the debian/ directory explaining required work. Enjoy! A. -- Tout ce qui n’est pas donné est perdu. - Proverbe indien
