It's the same situation all the time. We shouldn't have packages 
depending on ffmpeg's newest branch directly, because major ffmpeg 
branch updates will almost never work without updating the depending 
packages as well.

I suggest using attributes like ffmpeg_0_11, ffmpeg_1_0, etc. Let people 
who upgrade individual packages try compatibility with newer versions 
(and let them decide how many ffmpeg branches we need).
