I don't think so. However, the fact that both the tool name and the
project name are identical does not help to avoid some confusion. It
merely says that the tool /usr/bin/ffmpeg originates from the FFmpeg
project, but is not futher updated anymore to match the latest features
from the FFmpeg project.
