FFmpeg is in Debian Sid (unstable) at this time, which means it probably won't hit the next version of Debian (Jessie). It will co-exist with (buggy, insecure) LibAV for a while until Debian decides to switch over. From the Debian bug, there's basically no reason to stay with LibAV. It'll be a few years yet, but the process is rolling.
Ubuntu will probably be compiling better versions later on and submitting them to Debian for when Debian catches up with Ubuntu. Ubuntu iterates faster.
