Is libavcodec built as part of this package, or do we use the system libavcodec?

If this package uses a private libavcodec, we will have a problem with NEON autodetection, and the package may not work on e.g., Dove if NEON is built in.

libavcodec has no native support yet for detecting NEON support at runtime; for libavcodec we needed to build 2 library flavours (one with, one without) so the dynamic linker can choose one based on hwcaps.

@Dave:

It is a private libavcodec. After it's uploaded with the fix for FTBFS, if something else needs to be sorted out for neon, lets follow up on either this bug or a new bug.

      of course encouraged!)
  * Set version to include a "+" delimitter.
  * Restore libfaad-dev dependency. (LP: #546552)

  [ Dave Walker (Daviey) ]
  * New snapshot (r23789), based from 0.23-fixes.
  * debian/control:
    - mythtv-frontend set to Conflict with mythflix, as it's dropped
      upstream. (LP: #544521)
    - Remove unnecessary and potentially problematic use of Pre-Depends.
    - Set the debug package to Priority extra.
    - Change *-perl Section's from libs to perl

    - Minor spelling fix.
    - Fixes the long description for one of the packages, ensuring the
      description doesn't exceed 80 characters.
    - Vcs-* set to -fixes, rather than -trunk.
  * debian/rules:
    - Use debconf-updatepo to update translations when required
    - Ensure license files are not included in the binary packages, except
      for debian/copyright.
    - Fixes the permissions of certain files in the packaging.
  * debian/copyright:
    - updated to reflect that mythtv is GPL-2 only.
    - inserted better licence statement and Copyright reference.
  * debian/mythtv-*.templates
    - Simplified strings; removed verbosity and improved readability.
  * Prevent the maintainer scripts from failing in case any questions
    can't be displayed.
  * Added holding debian/mythtv-frontend.config, mainly to appease lintian.
  * debian/mythtv-frontend.menu: Changed section to Applications/Graphics.
  * debian/mythtv-backend.postinst: Load debconf libraries.
  * debian/source.lintian-overrides: Removes the unecessary override of the
    binNMU warnings.
