Package: ffmpeg Severity: normal Hi,
first of all, I couldn't be happier to see ffmpeg finally arrive in Debian. One problem, though: I am trying to rebuild my package 'motion' with ffmpeg support, but it fails with this output: [ ... ] Motion object files compiled.

Any change I can convince you to provide me those two symlinks in your next upload of ffmpeg? I suspect other future packages linking against ffmpeg would need those two to be present. Best regards,
