   Since we no longer butcher ffmpeg the way I used to, "fork" would be
quite strong a word now. I'm all for distributing FFmpeg libraries that
share upstream's soname (as long as they don't break compatibility), so
go ahead. The package needs more love than what time permits me to give
it anyway, so it should not be my decision.
