This bug is about an other problem. libxxx-dev is the package that these
programs need to BUILD. What you are talking about is what they need to
WORK. As far as I understand it BOTH packages should depend on
"libav* | libav*-unstripped" because these libraries are api/abi
compatible, but just provide more ore less codecs (depending on what you
are allowed/willing to install). So these programs will BOTH function
with either of the packages, but depending on which one you have, they
can use a limited set or all codecs available.

Please file separate bugs for both packages requesting this (at least
for OpenCV).
