The reason I used quotations was to try to avoid putting words in the
mouths of the libav and Debian teams/leaderships. But the user could
read all this as (loosely in the same order):
wheezy:
ffmpeg is deprecated
avconv is its replacement
man ffmpeg gives you many examples in terms of avconv, not ffmpeg
ffmpeg is now listed as a transitional package
libav-tools breaks ffmpeg and replaces it
jessie:
ffmpeg has now gone
avconv has replaced it; same team, much the same functionality
traces of ffmpeg remain in the names of some applications' support libraries
and to summarise the release notes:
Debian wheezy [...]: ffmpeg has been replaced by [...] (libav-tools).
It provides [...] and prepares an upgrade path for existing application
packages.
installation of packages from third-party repositories should not be necessary.
So if Debian has moved forward from ffmpeg to libav, then using ffmpeg
is "going back", unless you mean something else by those two words.
BTW, the OP didn't say "getting stuck" but "stuck going back".
Stuck has the sense of "to fail to proceed or advance" and it
often expresses an emotion of defeat at the prospect.
Cheers,
David.
