I believe you didn't get my problem.
- why is my system saying that that *libmux* file exists in a package 
when it doesn't ? I believe apt-file can't just imagine that. Since it 
told me that the file were in libvlc0-dev, it may be written somewhere.
- I know that lib can be found on vlc website. So it's not impossible 
that the package could contain them if we choose to.

On an other hand, there is also a lib *libfaad.a* that has the same 
problem, but libfaad.a can be found in libfaad2-dev package. So was the 
choice of removing all the *.a files from lbvlc0-dev to prevent some 
conflict ?
if so, any of the *.a files should be provide in some other packages and 
the problem of that description stuff should be fixed.
