[Bug 306751] [NEW] create a virtual package ffmpeg-unstripped which pulls in all unstripped versions of the libs

[Paul Gevers]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: ffmpeg

Some packages would like to have the unstripped version installed if it is available for the user. Would it not be an idea to create a virtual package ffmpeg-unstripped which depends on the unstripped versions of the libs? I.e.: 
libavcodec-unstripped-52 libavdevice-unstripped-52 libavfilter-unstripped-0 libavformat-unstripped-52 libavutil-unstripped-49 libpostproc-unstripped-51 libswscale-unstripped-0

That way, packages can recommend ffmpeg-unstripped while still depending
on ffmpeg and all will be as expected (right?). May also be easier to
understand for the users that want the unstripped codecs.
