what makes you think we do disable?

MMX is only disabled if you build the package with DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS set
to 'noopt':

ifneq (,$(findstring noopt,$(DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS)))
# Various parts of ffmpeg (and swscale) FTBFS when compiling with -fPIC
# and with mmx code enabled.
  confflags += --disable-optimizations
  confflags += --disable-mmx
endif


this is to aid debugging. Normal users using prepackaged versions of
ffmpeg will never see this.
