Control: retitle -1 Replace macros removed from FFmpeg

Dear maintainer,

I have found a simpler way to make it possible to link your package 
against FFmpeg in Debian:
The lib*-ffmpeg-dev packages now install symbolic links from the 
standard lib*.so library names to the suffixed ones.
This makes it possible to use the normal linker flags, e.g. '-lavcodec', 
to link against the FFmpeg libraries with '-ffmpeg' suffix.

Thus the pkg-config patch is no longer necessary.

The Replace-removed-macros patch is still needed, so I'm retitling this 
bug accordingly.

I wish I had found this solution sooner and am sorry for the noise I 
created in your inbox.

Best regards,
Andreas
