html5 works with the ffmpeg experimental version, I don't see any
particular reason to move chromium in experimental, and as far as I know
ffmpeg maintainers will move ffmpeg0.6 to unstable after squeeze release.

I'm trying to understand if chromium can be maintained in a stable
release (squeeze), and indeed, given the bad security history[1] of
ffmpeg, we can ship chromium linked against its internal ffmpeg copy.
