The message that says "This program is not developed anymore and is only provided for compatibility. Use avconv instead (see Changelog for the list of incompatible changes)." is simply put a lie. FFmpeg project is still alive and active (with double the size of user community than libav, which is simply a fork of FFmpeg project), so that message should be removed or rephrased to something less misleading.
People are coming to FFmpeg support channel asking when did FFmpeg "shut down" and similar crazy stuff, which really annoys more and more people. I don't know how was this allowed to happen in ubuntu community, but it is really a bad example for all.
If there are any moral and decent people in ubuntu community left, this thing should be corrected, because if you leave it this way, it's simply telling lies to ubuntu users, making them believe something that is not true. Please fix this.
