There's something to be said here for packages that don't try to be
everything to everyone. I'd be surprised if OpenCV is a common format
for a typical ffmpeg user. It is far more reasonable to ask people who
need unusual codec support to build their own ffmpeg, than to ask
everybody to install 2GB of dependencies for a relatively common tool.

You're right though, Walter, that it goes both ways, and it's also
reasonable to ask people who want slim installs to build their own
ffmpeg.

We've never had a policy regarding dependencitis, and at the end of
the day it usually comes down to the set of default options that leads
to the fewest unhappy PRs.
