It kind of is port of the old ticket :)
During ffmpeg compile it fails:
LD	libavcodec/libavcodec.so.53
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lavutil
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [libavcodec/libavcodec.so.53] Error 1

So some include flag for the linker is broken to look for the lib in build source.

Thats why the libav*-dev packages ended up in the needed package list.
This is wrong though as you link with an "older" installed version instead of the new build one.
I'm not fast at fixing this so maybe someone is quicker to find whats missing.
