Bug#654984: libav: Please use a less confusing package name

[Paul Gevers]

Just to be sure, we are talking about the binaries here right? As the
source name seems fine with me and is no problem, right? I don't think
users would understand this name any better than ffmpeg, but I think the
lib start might frighten some unnecessary. Although I believe it is near
the least confusing alternatives, so I agree.

Anyway, if we are going that way, please do provide a transition path
for dependencies of ffmpeg. E.g. my package Winff depends on the binary
ffmpeg (not on the libav libraries). I would hate it when that suddenly
start breaking just for a rename.

Paul
