The following message is a courtesy copy of an article
that has been posted to gmane.linux.debian.devel.release as well.

Hi Release Team,

as per the recent announcement on d-d-a, I'd like to announce that we,
the pkg-multimedia team would like to update ffmpeg in squeeze at the
earliest convenience. libavcodec has seen an SONAME bump (51->52)
including some minor API changes.

I do expect some breakage in packages. Espc. packages that use ffmpeg
internals but also packages using the long-time deprecated and now
removed internal software scaler. There is not much we can do about
that, packages need to be ported to libswscale.

Anyway, I'd rather like to start the transition soon. Please indicate if
ok to upload now or to DELAYED-X.
