sorry, I cannot remember the discussion and haven't followed it 
closely. But, well, now that I think about it, isn't it silly to 
recompile the whole bunch of libraries although only libavcodec is 
actually modified? I mean, we do not build the ffmpeg* nor the 
lib*-dev packages twice, simply because this is not needed. So why 
should we rebuild all the other libraries and not only libavcodec?

Of course libavutil needs to be built first in order to build 
libavcodec, but libavutil does not need to be packages as 
libavutil-unstripped-* then. I believe we could achieve this via a 
variable &(MAKE_TARGET) that is passed to the make calls and is set to 
"libavcodec" if the unstripped ffmpeg package is built and to "all" else.

Again, sorry for the late objection, but this just came to my mind 
yesterday evening.

Cheers,
Fabian
