Bug Description
I have installed libavcodec-
$ ls -l /usr/share/
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 35 Jan 24 14:51 /usr/share/
Hence, I cannot currently read that changelog.
If there's no standard solution to coping with this situation, it seems the easy thing to do is to duplicate changelog.Debian.gz in all those libav* packages that do *not* conflict with libav*extra* packages. On my system, this includes at least libav-tools, libavdevice53, libavfilter2, libavformat53.
