Comment 7 for bug 1533367

Filipp, if an issue is fixed in libavformat it doesn't affect programs using this dynamic library (like mplayer) anymore, once they have been restarted after libavformat has been upgraded.

To fix this issue in xenial, 2.8.5-1 needs to be merged from Debian/unstable.

Attached is a debdiff for vivid. (git repo is at [1])

Testing performed (in a vivid chroot):
 * build including test suite works
 * installation works
 * upgrade works
 * no regression in the autopkgtests from 2.8.5-1
