For now, we do have a few packages that depend on ffmpeg: - vlc - opencv - freerdp - mediastreamer - mpd I don't know the state of each package wrt ffmpeg2 compatibility. So I would prefer to stay on the safe side, and ad dffmpeg2 as a separate package for now. Also, XBMC Gotham is not released yet, and from what I understood from the above, it will still use ffmpeg1, and only the next release will (maybe) be using ffmpeg2. We do not know how long it will take before Gotham is released, and even less when the next release will come. Since we already have an XBMC patch right now, and I'd like it to go in sooner than later, we'll have to stick with ffmpeg1 for a while, I'm afraid. Regards, Yann E.
