My understanding is that libav is a fork of ffmpeg. So, it will probably become more and more different than ffmpeg, in which case separate packages are obviously the right way of handling this. In the mean time, as they are exactly similar (at least in terms of build mechanism and options), I wanted to suggest doing a modular/tinyx style of selection. We might switch to a separate package when needed. But on the other hand, having a separate package is probably more clear.
