Comment 30 for bug 939863

Competition between the two teams (ffmpeg<->libav) undoubtedly makes each package better.

Given the robust development happening in each camp, should Canonical really be picking the winner/loser here to begin with?

Personally, I don't like the symlinks to a lesser release. My inclination is to remove everything avconf (incl. bogus links with ffmpeg name) and install a real ffmpeg w/codecs.
