thanks

	Hello,

FFmpeg has merged the libvpx support, but tagged it has non-free. In other 
words, you can compile it, but not redistribute it because it is not 
compatible with (L)GPL currently. So, unless/until Google changes the license, 
or someone makes a free implementation from scratch, this cannot go into 
Debian FFmpeg.

Best regards,
