The thing is that it has not be done properly and at the same time, ffmpeg management seems to have evolved for the better.
As for the Debian packaging, obviously the packager at the time was involved in libav, so there is probably the reason for the change. At that time, his decision may have had merit.
But in the light of how the two projects evolved since then, this decision should be questioned honestly IMHO.
