But I know the reason. I tried to get ffmpeg (and all
rdepends/build-rdepends) into multiverse maybe a month before breezy
release. I got it out of main back then but I didn't get the time to
move all rdepends/build-rdepends out of universe so most of the ffmpeg
stuff stayed in universe, only libpostproc-dev went to multiverse as it
had no rdepends
