Therefore, I'll step up to be the primary maintainer.

I didn't consider this because I thought it was a binary. Sadly the system library doesn't work well with avidemux because it doesn't have any of these useful patches; but indeed, together with mantainers of this package on other distributions we should be able to push some patches upstream... Therefore, I think we should keep USE="system-libs" until avidemux is properly tested to make USE="+system-libs" appropriate.
