This is not going to work in any case. libavcodec uses many many
internals of libavutil, so these libraries absolutely do need to be kept
at the same upstream version under any circumstances!

Perhaps we can or should add some Breaks field on libavutil49 like that:

Packages: libavutil49
Breaks: libavcodec52 (>> ${Source:upstream-version})

As liabformat depends on libavcodec, I think this should be sufficient.

Opinions?
