ffmpeg-php is one of the affected packages. I was going to upload a new
upstream version which uses swscale tonight, but given the go ahead from
the RT I will wait until the new ffmpeg hits the archive.

Will keep an eye on the package but feel free to prod me in case I haven't
uploaded the new version of ffmpeg-php after a couple of days ffmpeg is
uploaded. All this to avoid an extra binNMU.
