The following commit has been merged in the master branch:
commit e2fe43a546e93416f2f679225900eb4829e94b28
Author: Reinhard Tartler <siretart at tauware.de>
Date:   Fri Jun 27 22:09:55 2014 -0400

    Disable libavserver (Closes: #734335)
    
    It turns out that avserver is pretty much unmaintained these days and
    contains obvious bugs. The next Libav upstream release has it already
    released, and further maintenance is currently rather unlikely. With
    this in mind, the libav package proactively disables the avserver build
    anticipating its removal upstream.
    
    If you are interested in having avserver back and functional, please
    help upstream with reinstantiating it.
