Yes, that's my silly editor. :/

Yes, this is the same question we are asking ourselves and ftp-master
for quite a while now.

Sure, but in a VCS the text could be improved by everyone.

Yes, this should go into README.Debian (or README.Source?). Some of 
the other paragraphs would have to get improved, though, to not leave 
the content of the file in a contradictory state.

As soon as we upload an unstripped source, we should switch the name 
back from ffmpeg-debian to ffmpeg IMHO. We can describe this in 
debian/changelog like this:

	ffmpeg(4:0.5+svn20090420-3) UNRELEASED; urgency=low

	* Built from unstripped ffmpeg source code.
	* Renamed source package back to ffmpeg from ffmpeg-debian.
	* Disabled patent encumbered codecs during configure phase 		 
instead of stripping of the source code.

Just an idea...

I think the codec is really called MS-MPEG4 ?!

Very good point.
