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

[Mantas Kriaučiūnas]

** Description changed:

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