The "epoch" (the version number prefix, before the ':') is used to

Marillat does this on purpose. I don't know his reasons.
In order to "downgrade" from 5:0.7.11-0.1 to 4:0.8-2~bpo60+1 you need to
tun 'apt-get install ffmpeg=4:0.8-2~bpo60+1'.
this is an example where aptitude is superior to apt-get:
with apt-get install (or dist-install), I went into some kind of
infinite loop of dependencies, while "aptitude install
ffmpeg=4:0.8-2~bpo60+1'
worked.
But then, what is the use of pinning to 1 the Unofficial Multimedia Packages
?
It seems that if Marillat cheats about the version number, the solution is
to get rid of
the debian-multimedia.org repo.
