Removing stuff by hand from /usr/lib is very rarely a good idea.

The following steps should works:
unbreak a debian system:

 - remove all references to debian-multimedia.org from
   /etc/apt/sources.list and /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*.list

 - apt-get install libavutil49 libavutil50-

or with aptitude instead of apt-get.

Note that it will remove the packages needing the special version of
FFMpeg on debian-multimedia.org.


By official I mean: packages coming from debian.org not from a
third-party repository.

http://packages.debian.org/libavutil50 will show you that there is no
libavutil50 package in Debiani.
