[Pkg-chromium-maint] Bug#581507: ffmpeg-0.6

After installing libavutil50/experimental libavcodec52/experimental
libavdevice52/experimental libavformat52/experimental
libavfilter1/experimental libpostproc51/experimental
libswscale0/experimental , chromium is able to display html5
video again. Even webm videos on youtube work. Hello, future!

What I don't understand is why you're leaving chromium in unstable in
such a crippled state, and with broken dependency information that does
not make it very easy to find the solution above. This bug could be
resolved immediately in either of two ways; by moving chromium to
experimental until ffmpeg reaches unstable, or moving ffmpeg 0.6 to
unstable now. I've seen no rationalle given against doing either. 

(For that matter, there's no particular reason not to link chromium against
its internal ffmpeg copy, given that it's being blocked from reaching
testing.)
