It lists multiple sources because this bug was filed against the ffmpeg binary package, which is built from those sources, but then had a found version which matched libav. The BTS errs on the side of including all relevant source packages in cases like this. -- Don Armstrong http://www.donarmstrong.com Fate and Temperament are two words for one and the same concept. -- Novalis [Hermann Hesse _Demian_] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-qa-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
